The correct answer is c) slate.
Slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed from shale. To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the process of metamorphism. Metamorphism is the transformation of existing rock types into new types due to changes in pressure, temperature, and chemical composition.
Shale is a sedimentary rock composed of fine-grained clay minerals. During the process of metamorphism, when shale is subjected to heat and pressure, its mineral composition and physical properties change, resulting in the formation of slate.
In this case, the original rock (shale) has undergone metamorphism, and the resulting metamorphic rock is slate.
