Answer

Marble is a metamorphic rock.

Explanation

The question is asking for the classification of marble in terms of rock types. There are three main types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the compaction and cementation of various sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, are created when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing physical and/or chemical changes. Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that forms when limestone or dolomite is subjected to such heat and pressure. Therefore, marble is classified as a metamorphic rock.
