Solution
Cementation
Explanation:
Cementation is the process where compacted sediments are bonded together by natural materials like calcium compounds, silica, and iron. During cementation, these minerals act as a glue, filling the spaces between sediment grains and hardening them into solid rock. This process is an essential step in forming sedimentary rocks, making cementation the correct answer.
