Answer:

All are correct

Explanation:

An igneous rock can be converted into sedimentary rock when it is exposed to the surface because only then it will start decomposing by the action of water and wind

In the same way a metamorphic rocks on being exposed can be broken down into sediments

An igneous rocks can be converted into metamorphic rock when it is buried deep into the Earth crust  at high temperatures and pressures

Sedimentary rocks become metamorphic only when they are subjected to heat and pressure from burial.  

And lastly Metamorphic rocks of one form can be converted into metamorphic rock of other form.


Hence, all the given changes are correct
