Assume that a new site indicates that rocks were briefly heated by a magma pocket but experienced almost no directional pressure. What texture would most likely form?

Heat from a nearby magma pocket can alter or recrystallize rock, while almost no directional pressure means its minerals are not forced into aligned layers. The likely result is a nonfoliated texture with interlocking crystals, as described in choice A. Alternating bands and aligned minerals typically form under directed pressure.
