Answer:

C. an allergic reaction

Explanation:

Pollen can generate an immune response which is known as hypersensitivity. Hypersensitivity is an uncontrolled and unregulated immune response. Pollen generates IgE mediated type I hypersensitivity which causes acute inflammation in the body which ultimately result in wheals and flares on the skin. It causes hyper activation of mast cells and basophils which cause vasodilation by releasing molecules like leukotrienes, serotonin and prostaglandins. Asthama and atropic dermatitis are the two diseases which occur due to pollen allergies.

Granite is a type of intrusive igneous rock

Explanation:

An igneous rock formed from hot magma or lava cools, solidifies or crystallizes to form rocks.

Based on the rate of cooling of magma, igneous rocks can either be intrusive or extrusive.  

A slow cooling of the magma deep within the earth without reaching the surface of the volcano leads to the production of intrusive igneous rocks.

This slow cooling leads to crystallization forming large crystals visible to the eyes with a phaneritic texture.

Granite has the best phaneritic texture among intrusive igneous rocks. Granite crystals can be easily visualized and are constituted by minerals like white feldspar, black hornblende, translucent quartz, and platy black biotite.

Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt are formed from microscopic crystals from fast cooling of magma.
