Answer 1

A B and C I believe are the correct choices

Answer 2

The correct answer would be mineral, water, and sediments.

In geology, cementation refers to the last stage of the rock cycle in which the sediments are hardened and welded through precipitation of mineral matters in the pores available.

The process of precipitation requires the ions carried by underground water.

Therefore, water, mineral, and sediments are essential for the process of cementation.
