Solution

Greenstone belts are A- The preserved remains of Hadean/Archean subduction complexes. These are zones of metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks that are associated with early Earth's crust formation. They are named for the green hue of the rocks, caused by the metamorphic processes altering minerals within the rocks.
