I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The physical processes that results in the formation of metamorphic rocks would be heat and pressure. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer: c. heat and pressure

Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks are formed exertion of external heat and pressure over the existing sedimentary and igneous rocks. Certain geological activities such as underground compression, stress, plate tectonics, exertion of shearing force causes deformation of the existing rocks. The metamorphic rocks formed are generally more denser than the previously existing parent rocks.
