Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The progression of rock types given the process of burial, uplift, erosion, and deposition, followed by burial and melting, would be metamorphic → sedimentary → metamorphic → igneous. The original rock would undergo metamorphism from the first burial, then become sedimentary after erosion and deposition, undergo metamorphism again with the second burial, and finally melt and become igneous. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
