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.

Limestone, bauxite and Non-foliated rocks:

• 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.
