Each statement explains a cause that would prevent a plant not to bear seed in its life cycle except:

"The plant will grow to full maturity and produce flowers instead"

the correct answer is 4) heat and pressure

metamorphic rocks arise from transformation of existing rocks types, in a process called metamorphism. during metamorphism the original rock(prolith) change into metamorphic rock by heating (150-200c) and pressure of more than 1000 bar. the original rock can be sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.
