What type of rock is granite?

Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
Volcanic

The correct answer is: Igneous

Granite is an example of an igneous rock, which is formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, also known as magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sediment being compacted and cemented together over time, while metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rocks under high heat and pressure. Volcanic is not a type of rock, but rather a geological process related to the eruption of molten magma.
