    2. texture
    3. both (1) and (2)
    4. actual chemical composition
Correct Option: C

The word “Metamorphism” comes from the Greek: Meta = change, Morph = form, so metamorphism means to change form. The process of metamorphism is one that changes or alters either the mineralogy (structure) or the texture, but typically both, of some pre-existing rock. Metamorphic rocks are consequent ly rocks that have undergone a change or “metamorphosis” from a previous state as a sedimentary, igneous or even another metamorphic rock.
