Granite is an intrusive, felsic (aka Sialic), igneous rock. Therefore the answer is "C".
An intrusive rock (one that cools below the surface of the earth) is one where the temperature dropped slowly allowing for the formation of large distinct crystals. These crystals are the visible spots in granite.

Granite isn't metamorphic, it's igneous. Marble is metamorphic.

C- intrusive, as it must intrude other rocks to cool down to become granitoid.

Granite is not metamorphic. Its metamorphic equivalent is gneiss.
