Answer:  A) Sandstone. Sandstone has more obvious layers of sediments.

Step by step explanation: As you take a look at the given pictures, you notice that (Sandstone) Is more closed off than (Shale). So whenever rain comes, rain will seep into the little openings of the rock shale has, causing it to break down.Same for strong wind, since shale isn't as compacted as Sandstorm, then shale will not last very long. Therefore making Sandstone being able to undergo more harsh conditions.
