A Correct answer
Explanation

Quartz is the most important and abundant component in both sand (as individual grains) and granite (as a major mineral constituent). It is extremely hard, chemically resistant, and makes up about 12% of the continental crust. Feldspar, pyroxene, and amphibole are also present but quartz is the dominant component.
