Question

what types of rocks initially form from deposition? metamorphic sedimentary basaltic igneous

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks form from the deposition, compaction, and cementation of sediments (like sand, mud, shells). Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks changed by heat/pressure. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma/lava. Basaltic is a type of igneous rock, not a main rock type from deposition. So the rock type that initially forms from deposition is sedimentary.

Answer:

C. sedimentary (assuming options are labeled as A. metamorphic, B. sedimentary, C. basaltic, D. igneous; if original labels differ, adjust, but based on content, the correct option is the one with "sedimentary")
