Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. The Hydrothermal solution is not the cause of metamorphism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors. Conditions like these are found deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three primary causes of metamorphism include one or more of the following conditions: heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids. During metamorphism, rocks may fold, fracture, or even partially melt to a viscous state and flow before reforming into a new rock.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Sandstone. Sandstone is NOT a metamorphic rock.
