The correct answer is - a) by their texture.

Rocks are being mainly classified by their composition and their texture. Their texture represents the structure of the rocks. The three types of rocks igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic have different texture classifications. Their textures depend on the place of their formation, the temperature, the pressure etc.

- Igneous rocks according to their texture are divided into:

* Intrusive rocks

* Extrusive rocks

- Metamorphic rocks are divided into:

* Quartizite

* Schist

* Gneiss

* Slate

* Phyllite

- The sedimentary rocks are divided into:

* Clastic

Answer:

The per capita birth rate of the population will increase.

Explanation:

Fecundity refers to the ability of an organism in order to produce more number of offsprings. This leads to the increase in the number of population of lizards which is facilitated due to the increasing rainfall. In addition to this, the high abundance of rainfall also allows the number of predators to increase as a result of which it becomes difficult for them to survive.

From the above condition, it can be generalized that the population of lizard will increase at a much higher rate.
