Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of steps leading to the formation of clastic sedimentary rocks is erosion (breaking down of rock and minerals), transportation (movement of sediments), deposition (settling of sediments), and cementation (binding of sediments). Option B has deposition before transportation, which is not possible in natural processes. Option C includes metamorphism, which is not a step in the formation of clastic sedimentary rocks. Option D describes the process of forming chemical sedimentary rocks, not clastic sedimentary rocks.
