We are building EduLadder(ELADR) - Protocol

The Eladr Protocol is a decentralized, security and efficiency enhanced Web3 noSQL database powered by IPFS as the data storage layer https://ipfs.io/, and the Cardano block chain as the rewards token platform, https://cardano.org/. It provides a JSON based, IPFS layer 2 solution for data indexing and retrieval in an 'append only' file system built with open source Node.js API libraries.

The ELADR token was designed to incentivize and reward community members as a proof of contribution. Token holders are also granted access to EduLadder.com premium features as well as associated ELADR token enabled apps.

Answer is: (D) Massive basalt
Explanation:
Unconfined compressive strength:
A measure of a material’s strength. The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) is the maximum axial compressive stress that a right-cylindrical sample of material can withstand under unconfined conditions—the confining stress is zero. It is also known as the uniaxial compressive strength of a material because the application of compressive stress is only along one axis—the longitudinal axis—of the sample.
Massive Basalt: Igneous rocks -- those which originate from magma -- fall into two categories: Extrusive and intrusive. Extrusive rocks erupt from volcanoes or seafloor fissures, or they freeze at shallow depths. This means that they cool relatively quickly and under low pressures, therefore they are typically fine grained and gassy. The other category is intrusive rocks, which solidify slowly at depth and do not release gases.
Some of these rocks are clastic, meaning they are composed of rock and mineral fragments, or clasts, rather than solidified melt. Technically, that makes them sedimentary rocks but these volcaniclastic rocks have many differences from other sedimentary rocks -- in their chemistry and the role of heat, especially. Geologists tend to lump them with the igneous rocks. Learn more about igneous rocks.
This basalt from a Columbia Plateau lava flow is fine grained (aphanitic) and massive (without layers or structure). See the basalt gallery.
