Which of the following sedimentary minerals, known to everyone as ‘salt’, usually forms in arid climates where sea water evaporates?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Halite.
 Halite, commonly known as rock salt, is a sedimentary mineral that forms in arid climates through the evaporation of seawater.
 It is primarily composed of sodium chloride (NaCl).
 Halite typically forms in large beds of evaporite minerals, resulting from the evaporation of enclosed bodies of seawater.
 It is used extensively in food seasoning, road de-icing, and various industrial processes.
 Halite crystals are usually colorless or white but can also be found in shades of blue, purple, pink, yellow, or gray due to impurities.
