\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @xXDeMoNCHILDXx answer: B \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) you was right

supie:

The question states that " igneous rocks form." small crystals and fine texture describes and igneous rock. This, What I got from Google might help. Extrusive or volcanic rocks crystallize from lava at the earth's surface. ... On the other hand, lavas cool quickly at the earth's surface and are characterized by fine-grained texture, in which the crystals are too small to be seen by the unaided eye.

supie:

So yes B is correct but next time try not to give a direct answer @xXDeMoNCHILDXx
