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).
