    Ans(C) Omphacite + Garnet + Plagioclase assemblage doesn't indicate any metamorphic facies because in eclogite facies (contains Omphacite+garnet only), plagioclase never occurs. Other assemblages indicate a particular metamorphic facies as written below. Hornblende + Plagioclase + lmenite: Amphibolite facies of mafic rocks Orthopyroxene + Clinopyroxene + Plagioclase + Hornblende: Granulite facies of mafic rocks Albite + Epidote + Actinolite + Chlorite: Greenschist facies of mafic rocks

    ECLOGITE FACIES HAS NO PLAGIOCLASE SO OPTION C IS NOT A FACIES. it will simply omphacite and pyrope
