A science teacher who was teaching a unit on minerals modeled mineral formation for the class. She heated granular sugar and a very small amount of water in a pan until the sugar melted and boiled. After a few minutes, she poured the mixture out into a pan, and the mixture took the shape of the pan and hardened. As it hardened, the sugar molecules in the mixture formed crystals.

Minerals that might form in the igneous environment the teacher modeled include

A.

magnetite and quartz.

B.

calcite and epidote.

C.

gypsum and feldspar.

D.

halite and feldspar.
