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?
