Answer

Brief Explanations:

Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks (like sandstone here) are changed by heat and pressure. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma/lava. Sedimentary rocks form from sediment accumulation. Since sandstone (a sedimentary rock) becomes quartzite via heat and pressure, it fits metamorphic rock formation.

Answer:

C. Metamorphic
