Gneiss and quartz is siliceous rock.

Gneiss is a metamorphic rock. 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).

So, the Answer is: metamorphic.

Gneiss is a common and widely distributed type of metamorphic rock. 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).

I think answer should be A. Gneiss is made from Granite.

Kammar Bahadur Bam said:   6 years ago
Genesis is obtained from granite. So, A is correct.

Gneiss is metamorphic rock. How come a metamorphic rock obtained from metamorphic rock only?

Gneiss is absolutely metamorphic rock obtained from granite which is an igneous rock. Gneiss sometimes also has its parent rock as shale which is a sedimentary rock. So the answer must be igneous -sedimentary rock or simply igneous rock.

Igneous rock gets converted into Gneiss by metamorphic action.
