Gneiss is formed from another metamorphic rock called schist, which itself started out life as a sedimentary rock called shale.

So, option D is correct.
(1)

Gneiss is formed by high-temperature and high-pressure metamorphic processes acting on formations composed of igneous or sedimentary rocks. Orthogneiss is gneiss derived from igneous rock (such as granite). Paragneiss is gneiss derived from sedimentary rock (such as sandstone).

Granite changes to gneiss so option may be A again it can be obtained from conglomerate which is sedimentary rock so option may be C ie both from igneous and metamorphic.

Damodar said:   5 years ago
Option A is the correct answer.

Hardik said:   5 years ago
Gneiss is obtained from granite (igneous rock) by metamorphic process. So the answer must be A.

Shale (S) >Slate (M) >Phyllite (M) >Schist (M) >Gneiss (M).

So Granite is obtained from sedimentary-metamorphic rocks!

It is also obtained from Conglomerate. So answer is D.

Angira said:   5 years ago
Granite is converted into Gneiss by metamorphic action.

It should be a metamorphic rock.
