Answer: It is claim 1

Explanation: It is 1 as the Rocky Mountains weathered down into sediments which was then compacted into sediment rocks

The appropriate claim is Claim 1: The sediment that formed the Great Plains came from the rock of the Rocky Mountains.

It should be noted that the sediment that formed the Great Plains came from the rock of the Rocky Mountains. As the Rocky Mountain was eroded by erosion, there were sediments that were produced.

Cenozonic-era volcanism and erosion resulted into sediments and the sediments were transported and were later deposited to form the Great Plain. Therefore, the first claim is logically true while the second claim is incorrect.
