They are rocks.
the most common minerals in clastic sedimentary rocks are likely
None of the above. These terms describe sedimentary rocks. Granite is igneous.
The two main types of sedimentary rocks are clastic (detrital) rocks, which are made of pre-existing rock fragments cemented together, and chemical rocks, which form from minerals that precipitate out of solution.
Conglomerate is a clastic rock. They are coarse-grained sedimentary rocks.
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
The three categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic rocks form from the accumulation of weathered rock fragments, chemical rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water, and organic rocks form from the remains of living organisms.

Conglomerate, Sandstone and Shale are the three most common clastic sedimentary rocks.
Clastic: These rocks are composed predominantly of broken pieces of older weathered and eroded rocks Non-clastic/ Organic: A sedimentary rock composed of the remains of plants and animals.

Organic, Chemical and Clastic
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
Non-clastic rocks are formed through chemical and organic processes. Chemical rocks like limestone are formed when minerals in water precipitate out and accumulate. Organic rocks like coal are formed from the remains of plants and animals that are buried and compacted over time. These processes occur without the transportation and deposition of sediments like in clastic rocks.
Clastic rocks are sedimentary rocks consisting of bits and pieces of other rocks created by physical/mechanical weathering. Non-clastic are also sedimentary rocks; however are absent bits and pieces of other rocks and are formed through chemical processes (e.g. hydrolysis, evaporation, precipitation, oxidation) or form out of organic material (e.g. coal, chalk).
