The correct answer is marble.
Marble is the rock that withstands weather well and is often used for statues.

Marble is an abundant type of rock, it can be easily carved, and it is durable as it resists breakage. It is soft to carve and hard to break.

Marble rock is a metamorphosed limestone. It is greatly affected by acid rain.

It naturally occurs as white, gray, pink, green brown and black depending on other minerals found inside. The white marble is common used to make human forms because of its translucent nature.
