Aiden · Answer 1

Answer: D. It was formed from slow cooling

Explanation:

The intrusive rocks are formed by the solidification of the magma. They cool slowly deep inside the earth crust. The insulating crust keeps the rocks warm for long. The retaining heat imparts dark color to the rock crystals.

Greer · Answer 2

The anser is D. The reason is as magma cools slowly the minerals have time to grow and form large crystals.
