Igneous Rocks are classified based upon their
a. Mineralogy and composition
b. Crystal texture and density
c. Crystal size and mineral composition
d. Hardness and Texture

Answer :

 igneous rocks can be  "primary" rocks because they crystallize from a liquid. Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
Igneous rocks may be simply classified according to their chemical/mineral composition as felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic
and by texture or grain size: intrusive rocks are course grained (all crystals are visible to the naked eye) while extrusive rocks may be fine-grained Volcanic rocks, especially felsic and intermediate, often have a porphyritic texture characterized by visible crystals floating in a fine-grained groundmass.
