Among the rocks listed, basalt is an igneous rock. It forms from the rapid cooling of lava at the Earth's surface, resulting in a fine-grained texture. In contrast, marble and limestone are metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, respectively, while gneiss is a metamorphic rock that typically originates from granite or sedimentary rock through high-grade metamorphism.
