Answer 1

Well answer e is just plain gross. I would go with c.

Answer 2

Answer:

c) clays, rust, and sand that go into making soil beneath them, and ions that wash away.

Explanation:

Granite is a rock formed by a set of minerals. Its composition is basically as follows: Quartz, Feldspar and

mica. Due to its hardness and strength, granite is used in many places, including tombstones.

When used in tombstones, granite is exposed to numerous environmental, chemical and physical factors that can interfere with its structure and cause transformation. Most likely, the tombstone granites turn into clays, rust and sand that form the soil beneath them and ions that are washed away.
