The correct answer is
Igneous Rocks
Granite Rock Classification: Igneous Origin
Granite is classified based on its formation process.
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock material, such as magma or lava.
Granite specifically is an intrusive igneous rock. It forms when magma cools slowly deep beneath the Earth's surface. This slow cooling process allows large mineral crystals to form, giving granite its distinctive granular texture and visible mineral grains.
Consequently, granite belongs to the category of Igneous Rocks.
