What is the name of an icicle-like structure found in caves?

A Stalactite
B Stalagmite
C Speleothem

Correct Answer: Stalactite

Fact: A stalactite is a pointed mineral formation that hangs from the ceiling of a cave, formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. Stalagmites, by contrast, grow upward from the cave floor. The Misotsuchi Icicles, seen here today, are like ice stalactites, forming when water freezes as it drips down a rock face, creating a breathtaking winter display.
