Explanation:

ANS. (A) 
The Earth is composed predominantly of a large mass of igneous rock with a very thin veneer of weathered material—namely, sedimentary rock. Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of magma, which is a hot molten or partially molten rock. Igneous and metamorphic rocks make up 90– 95% of the top 16 km of the Earth’s crust by volume.
