What are rock sediments?
There are organic rocks, like Limestone, and clastic (composed of fragments), like Sandstone. Within these groups there are others, like coal is organic and siltstone is clastic, but even within limestone and sandstone, there are further categories. There's oolitic limestone, chalk and 'shelly' limestones; and arkose, desert sandstone, orthoquartzite (generic sandstone), and others. Conglomerate is an interesting one, if you are after a rock that is not 'normal'.

What is a kind of organic sedimentary rock formed from the decayed remains of plants a sandstone b limestone c shale or d coal?
Coal is the only option being a solely organic product. Sandstone, Limestone and Shales may contain considerable amounts of coalified organic matter of marine or continental origin (up to several per cent) but the larger fraction of material is detrital slicates in the case of sandstones and shales and carbonates in the case of a limestone.
