Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, breccia.

Explanation:

The clastic sedimentary rocks, which are formed of large angular pieces are termed as breccia. The gaps in between the large angular pieces are occupied with a matrix of smaller constituents and a mineral cement, which holds the rock together. The formation of breccia takes place when the angular and dissociated pieces of minerals or rock debris gather.
