Explanation:
In terms of abundance in the Earth's crust:

Mica is more common than both pyroxene and amphibolite.
Pyroxene is a common mineral in the upper mantle but less so in the crust compared to mica.
Amphibolite is a metamorphic rock mainly composed of amphibole, and is less common.

So, the correct ascending order (from least to most abundant) is:
Mica < Pyroxene < Amphibolite → 2, 3, 1.
