Answer:

The agents like mineral, water, and sediments are present for the sedimentation to occur. Explanation: Cementation is formed from pre existing rocks. This occurs due to precipitation of the mineral matter in that layer containing the pores.

The correct answer is (B) water, minerals, sediment

What is cementation?

  • Cementation is a heterogeneous process in which ions are reduced to zero valence at a solid metallic interface.
  • It is the last stage in the formation of a sedimentary rock.
  • The precipitation of the metal is accompanied obviously by a change of its concentration of the solution, and  of its potential.

 

Why other options are incorrect?

  • Water add the moisture and binds the cement that increases its ability to deform while cementing.
  • Minerals add the strength to the cementation that brings the cement a strong tendency to be static in any condition.
  • Heat is not used in this process whereas sediment releases during mixing.

Hence Option B is correct and other options are incorrect.
