Answer:

An important observation that could help you identify a metamorphic rock is c. the arrangement of mineral grains into a foliation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metamorphic rocks can be identified by the foliation which is the layered characteristics of these type of rocks. The process occurs during recrystallization resulting in a foliated rock with bands of different colors depending on the minerals that form them.
