Gniess made through metamorphic action of a sedimentary rock called 'laterite'.

In this way guiess is sedimentary metamorphic rock.

Gneiss is a high grade metamorphic rock, meaning that it has been subjected to higher temperatures and pressures than schist. It is formed by the metamorphosis of a granite, or sedimentary rock.

Gneiss displays distinct foliation, representing alternating layers composed of different minerals.

According to me, Option A will be the correct answer.

Correct Answer is sedimentary-metamorphic rocks because Gniess is obtained from igneous as well as sedimentary rocks after the metamorphic action.

Gniess is obtained by metamorphism action of granite. The granite is igneous. So the gneiss obtained from igneous rock.

Gneiss IS a Metamorphic Rock ------ Original Rock is Granite (Igneous Rock) so answer is Igneous Metamorphic.

Granite is not igneous rock. It is polymineralic rock @Vinoth.
