D. Rock type

Explanation:

The major factor that influences the strength of rocks is the rock type.

Different rock types are known to have their own relative strength.

Based on their strength, rocks are classified into hard and soft rocks.

Soft rock types are dominated by sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed by accumulation and deposition of sediments. They are often layered.

Metamorphic and igneous rocks are usually classified as hard rocks. These rocks forms under very high temperature and pressure conditions.
