Correct Answer: Halite


Solution : The correct answer is Halite.

The sedimentary mineral commonly known as "salt" that usually forms in arid climates where seawater evaporates is halite. Halite is the mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCl), and it is a significant component of salt deposits found in such environments. These deposits can be found in regions like deserts or arid coastal areas where there is a history of the evaporation of seawater over time, leaving behind salt deposits.
