Which of the following are common sedimentary rocks?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Sandstone, limestone, and shale.
· Sandstone: A clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or rock fragments. It forms from the compaction and cementation of sand particles.
· Limestone: A chemical sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), typically formed in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. It is often composed of the skeletal fragments of marine organisms.
· Shale: A clastic sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of silt and clay-sized mineral particles. It has a fine-grained texture and is known for its ability to split into thin layers.

· Bauxite is an ore of aluminum and is not a sedimentary rock.
· Non-foliated rocks refer to a type of metamorphic rock, not sedimentary.
Non-foliated rocks, granite and shale:
· Non-foliated rocks are metamorphic.
Sandstone, bauxite and foliated rocks:
· Bauxite is an ore, not a sedimentary rock.
· Foliated rocks are metamorphic, characterized by layered or banded appearances, not sedimentary.
