Explanation:

Sandstone is not an igneous rock but is a sedimentary rock.

A batholith (from Greek bathos, depth + lithos, rock) is a large mass of intrusive igneous rock (also called plutonic rock), larger than 100 square kilometres (40 sq mi) in area,[1] that forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth's crust. Batholiths are almost always made mostly of felsic or intermediate rock types, such as granite, quartz monzonite, or diorite.Felsic refers to igneous rocks that are relatively rich in elements that form feldspar and quartz.
