This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Granite

The correct answer is Granite.

Granite forms when magma cools slowly deep beneath the Earth's surface, allowing large quartz, feldspar, and mica crystals to grow. Because it solidifies below the surface, it is classified as an intrusive (plutonic) igneous rock with a coarse-grained (phaneritic) texture.

Conglomerate, shale, and sandstone are all sedimentary rocks formed by compaction and cementation of sediments — not by cooling of magma.
