Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Slate, anthracite, and marble are all examples of metamorphic rock, which is rock that has been changed from its original form through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks are formed from cooled magma or lava, while sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediment. Primary and secondary rock classifications are not commonly used terms in geology.
