Answer 2

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The rocks are prone to weathering by physical or chemical means. These weathered particles are carried by the wind and rivers to a distant places. These eroded sediments are then deposited at a new place due to its weaker transporting force. These sediments are then buried one above another and over a definite period of time, they undergoes compaction and lithification, resulting in the formation of the clastic sedimentary rocks.

This is how the clastic sedimentary rocks are formed.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
