the correct answer is 4) heat and pressure

metamorphic rocks arise from transformation of existing rocks types, in a process called metamorphism. during metamorphism the original rock(prolith) change into metamorphic rock by heating (150-200c) and pressure of more than 1000 bar. the original rock can be sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.

here is the answer

water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on earths surface. once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.
