    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Limestone is transformed into marble. When limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism, marble, a metamorphic rock, is formed. Marble is composed of calcite or CaCO3. The calcite in the limestone will recrystallize when under the conditions of metamorphism.
