a.Lava cools and hardens into rock.


b.Plant and animal remains are squeezed and cemented together.


c.Fragments of rock are squeezed and cemented together.


d.Solid chemicals in water harden and form rocks.

Answer 1

the answer is c, :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
