4. A student obtains a cup of quartz sand from a beach
A student obtains a cup of quartz sand from a beach. A saltwater solution is pored into the sand and allowed to evaporate. The mineral residue from the saltwater solution cements the sand grains together, forming a material that is most similar in origin to

An intrusive igneous rock
A clastic sedimentary rock
d. A foliated metamorphic rock
