A Volcanic Rock
B Igneous Rock
C Metamorphic Rock
D Sedimentary Rock

Correct Answer: Metamorphic Rock

Gneiss is a common and widely distributed type of metamorphic rock. Gneiss is formed by high temperature and high-pressure metamorphic processes acting on formations composed of igneous or sedimentary rocks. Orthogneiss is gneiss derived from igneous rock (such as granite).
