Answer:
Option A is correct
Sediments are lithified to form new sedimentary rock
Explanation:
When rocks are buried deeper into the earth's crust, the individual grains of the rocks are lithified due to increased pressure and temperature.
The sediment rocks mostly contain fossils made up of various carbonates present in the earth's crust. The sediment rocks can be abiogenic or biogenically sourced.
