B. Laccolith

C. Dyke

D. Sill

E. All of these

Answer: Option E

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface. These rocks can take various forms based on their shape, size, and relationship to the surrounding rock. The different types of intrusive rocks include:

Batholith, which are large, deep-seated intrusive bodies.

Laccolith, which are dome-shaped intrusions that cause the overlying rock to bulge upwards.

Dyke, which are vertical or steeply inclined sheets of rock that cut across pre-existing layers.

Sill, which are horizontal or gently inclined sheets of rock that run parallel to the layering of the surrounding rocks.

Therefore, the correct answer is all of these.
