the only possible answer is a.

metamophic rocks cannot form on the surface

evaporation creates crystals such as salt

and magma crystallization creates igneous rocks.

It is A but to correct a couple of things. A salt is an evaporite generally considered to be sedimentary though I can understand the confusion. In addition, a metamorphic rock can also form from other metamorphic rocks, not only sedimentary and igneous.

A. deep underground

Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary or igneous rocks that have been altered by heat and/or pressure. As they are derived from previously existing igneous, sedimentary or even metamorphic rock, their appearance is variable. They are identified by the types of minerals they contain and their texture. Thermally metamorphosed rocks occur bordering igneous intrusions, which altered the surrounding rock originally because of their intense hear, resulting also in the formation of new minerals such as andalusite and garnet. Regionally metamorphosed rocks occur in the roots of mountain ranges, where intense pressures and high temperatures formed platy minerals (e.g. mica) and high-pressure minerals (e.g. staurolite

D. when minerals in magma crystallize.


metamorphic means "changes", and as minerals in magma slowly cool down, crystalls form. which is a metamorphic stage. the slower the magma minerals form the more crystalls there will be.

a dawg. created when igneous or sedimentary rock is "metamorphosed" by extreme heat or pressure.
