Mineral suites define metamorphic facies.

How do crystal size and foliation change with increasing intensity of metamorphism? A. Grain size increases and foliation becomes less coarse. B. Grain size decreases and foliation becomes coarser. C. Both grain size and foliation coarseness decrease. D. Both grain size and foliation coarseness increase. Texture, index minerals, grade, and facies describe metamorphism
