Wacke with graded bedding is the correct answer because it is a type of rock that forms from sediments deposited in deep water environments, where the sediments are not significantly altered by currents after deposition. Graded bedding is a characteristic feature of deep water sedimentation, indicating a decrease in grain size from bottom to top within a single layer, which is typical of turbidity currents in deep marine settings.
