(a) Lineation refers to linear features in rocks that can be caused by the deformation, flow, or alignment of minerals.
(b) Bands or stripes are common features in metamorphic rocks, which result from the re-crystallization of minerals under heat and pressure.
(c) Foliation is also a characteristic of metamorphic rocks, referring to the layering or alignment of minerals caused by directed pressure or shear stress during metamorphism.
