Answer»

The correct option is (c) sandstones

The explanation: SANDSTONE is a CLASTIC sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) MINERAL particles or rock fragments. Most sandstone is composed of quartz or feldspar because they are the most resistant minerals to WEATHERING processes at the Earth’s surface, as seen in Bowen’s reaction series.
