Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Diatomaceous earth is a siliceous, sedimentary rock formed from the fossilized remains of diatoms. Diatoms have unique, highly resistant cell walls called frustules, made of hydrated silicon dioxide (silica). Over millions of years, these frustules accumulate on ocean and lake floors, forming diatomaceous earth, which has numerous industrial applications due to its abrasive and porous nature.
