Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are those rocks that are formed due to the compaction and lithification of sediments.

When the rocks are weathered by the agents such as wind, water and ice, the sediments or the particles are carried from that particular area to a different place. The sediments are then continuously deposited in a different place. As a result of which the sediments are accumulated over one another, forming layers. These sediments over a due course of time undergoes compaction and solidification due to the weight of the overlying rocks. This is how the sedimentary rocks are formed. Some of the examples of sedimentary rocks are sandstone, limestone, shale, and mudstone.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

solmaris [256]
This is possible because proteins are created from different combinations of amino-acids. While we only have 20 different kinds of aminoacids, these 20 kinds can create thousands of combinations that we can observe in our bodies and bodies of other mammals as well as other organisms.

Organisms that live in deciduous forests have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. How are the bill and feet
Reil [10]
95% sure it is answer B) Detect the electrical discharges of prey in the sand using small pits on it's bill, crush the food with grinding pads on the top and bottom of it's bill (they don't have actual teeth), and webbed feet.

I did some quick research and it had all of those things. 
Hope this helps.
