A mineral is a solid formation that occurs naturally in the earth while a rock is a solid combination of more than one mineral formations which is also occurring naturally. A mineral has a unique chemical composition and is necessarily defined by its crystalline structure and shape

i hope this helps

I'm pretty sure u would cross off answer option A bc rocks and minerals are not the same thing due to the fact that almost all rocks are made of minerals and not minerals,u would also cross off answer options C bc texture of a rock is not determined by the minerals in the rock.

That leaves answer options B and D which do u think is correct and why?
