Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is often derived from the shells and skeletons of marine organisms. Therefore, limestone is most commonly formed in shallow-marine carbonate environments, where there is a high concentration of marine life and carbonate sediment can accumulate. The other options (A, C, and D) are unlikely to produce significant amounts of limestone.
