    C. during the crystallization of magma

    Explanation:

    Minerals are bodies of an inorganic nature that appear in a solid state. The earth is mainly made up of rocks. From the minerals and rocks on the Earth's surface we obtain a large part of the resources we need to live. They are formed by the interaction of physical-chemical processes in geological environments.

    Minerals originate through three fundamental processes:

    Magmatic Metamorphic Sedimentary

    Magmatic: Leads to mineral formation by solidification of magma. They originate from magma, this has in its composition a great diversity of elements, water vapor and other gases.

    Metamorphic : They are minerals formed by changes in the physical and chemical structure of rocks caused by variations in temperature and pressure.

    Sedimentary: They are formed when rocks undergo weathering processes. The free minerals are deposited or transferred by the water currents until they settle.

    Based on this, the correct options are:

    A. by evaporation

    B. in various chemical reactions

    C. during the crystallization of magma
