Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Plasma, solid, liquid, gas

A mineral is an inorganic, naturally occurring, crystalline solid, with a narrowly defined chemical composition, and characteristic physical properties. Minerals differ from other forms of matter because minerals are always solid. That is, they are rigid substances that resist changes in shape or volume.
