NO. It helps form igneous rocks like granite along with mica and feldspar and other minerals, in basalts and gabbros there is no quartz but it does form silicates like olivine.
When weathered out of igneous rocks like granite it will eventually be found on beaches as sand grains.
It is found in metamorphic rocks where it usually forms large lenses, and in fault systems as masses of quartz and other churned up rock powder. It forms the major gangue or waste mineral in many metal mines.

This particular igneous rock is called Granite. Although it does not only contain pyroxene and hornblende it also contains plagioclase feldspar
All. Including obsidian which has very small crystals indeed
the cool rocks have crystals in them
Granite.
Basalt

The list is long, but let's go with granite.
Quartz is a rock-forming mineral--and can be found in all three rock types. There is no igneous rock formation that is exclusively composed of the mineral quartz.
igneous rocks
Granite is composed of feldspar, quartz, biotite and muscovite mica. It has a high amount of silica. Granite is an igneous rock.
None, you don't get quartz and olivine in the same igneous rock.
The best anwser would be A, that they contain quartz.
Quartz is one of the most abundant silicate minerals found in igneous rock.

milky quartz is either metamorphic or igneous

No. Kimberlite is an igneous rock best known for sometimes containing diamonds. it contains no quartz crystals at all.
