When limestone turns into marble, It is correct to say that a sedimentary rock changed into a metamorphic rock. Option B is correct.

The rock cycle describes the changes to and from each of the 3 types of rock, which are:

Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic

The question is talking about limestone which is a sedimentary rock, changing into marble, which is a metamorphic rock. That is why option B is correct, it describes the correct rock types for this change. Options C and D are incorrect because they include the igneous rock type which does not belong to limestone or marble. Option A is wrong because the change it describes is backward from what the question is describing.
