C. metamorphic

Explanation:

Any of the kind of rocks in the options can form metamorphic rocks. Generally, metamorphic rocks are formed from preexisting rocks. The parent rocks undergoes deep burial where heat and pressure act on the rock. The rocks are then transform to form new kind of metamorphic rocks. The mineral assemblage, texture or both are usually different from the parent rocks. The process in the formation of this metamorphic rock is known as metamorphism. The transformation process of this rocks takes place through a solid state. This means the parents rocks does not melt to form the new metamorphic rock. The heat and pressure are not usually enough to melt the rocks instead the rocks only metamorphose in the solid state.

Igneous, sedimentary and even metamorphic rocks can undergo metamorphism. Example of metamorphic rocks is marble. Marble is usually formed from a sedimentary rocks known as limestone. The limestone might change in mineral assemblage or texture to form marble.
