Answer:

On their mode of formation

Explanation:

The classification of rocks into three major categories is strictly based on their mode of formation.

Rocks are naturally formed aggregates of minerals. Based on mode of formation, they can be classified into;

Igneous rocks: these rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten magma.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction and lithification of sediment.
Metamorphic rocks: these are changed rocks that have been formed by subjecting rocks to pressure and temperature conditions which causes an alteration of their minerology.

Answer:

C) homogeneity

Explanation:

All regions possess all of these characteristics, except for homogeneity. Homogeneity is a characteristic that describes a great similarity among the units that compose a region. Moreover, it implies a greater similarity between these internal units than between its units and those of other regions. The aspects analyzed in order to judge these similarities are usually physical (climatic zones, botanic areas, etc.) or social (historical or cultural regions).
