D. A broken piece of quartzite will break through, not around, quartz sand grains.

Quartzite and quartz sandstone have the <em>same chemical formula</em> (SiO_2)

Quartzite is a <em>metamorphic rock</em>. Heat and pressure have compressed the sand into a strong network of interlocking quartz grains.

Quartzite is so tough that it breaks through the sand grains rather than around them as in sandstone.
