As they pass through the rock cycle, atoms:
a. stay within the same mineral.
b. move through the rock cycle in the same manner.
c. do not move through the rock cycle at the same rate.
d. that were adjacent to each other remain near each other.

Option (C)

Explanation:

Atoms are the basic structures that are combined to form minerals, which are further accumulated giving rise to the formation of rocks. These atoms plays a significant role in the formation of rock and their significant characteristics.

When atoms are passed through the rock cycle, they are not able to move at the same rate, but they can move at a different rate. When a rock changes from one kind to another, its constituent minerals and atoms also alters, forming a different rock type with variable characteristics and properties.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
