The formation of clastic sedimentary rocks involves the following steps in sequential order: erosion, transportation, deposition, and cementation. This involves the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks, the transportation of the weathered materials to a new location, and the eventual deposition of these materials, followed by compaction and cementation to form solid rocks. Choice A is the only option that lists these steps in the correct order.
