OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

The correct answer is E.


"Abrasive," choice E, means "wearing something down." Choice A, "coarse," meaning "rough," and choice B, "rough," can be eliminated because all rocks are not rough; some are smooth. Choice C, "rasping," means "filing or scraping with a file" and can also mean "making a grating sound," so it's a synonym for choice D, "grating," an annoying sound." Neither fits the context.
