The answer is: Stalactites.

Explanation for each option:

  • Concretions: These are hard, compact masses of mineral matter found in sedimentary rock, not specifically hanging from cave ceilings.
  • Straws: These are thin, hollow tubes of calcite that hang from cave ceilings, but they are not typically referred to as icicle-like pendants.
  • Flowstone: This is a sheet-like deposit of calcite formed where water flows down the walls or floors of a cave, not hanging from the ceiling.
  • Stalactites: These are icicle-like pendants of calcite that hang from cave ceilings, formed by the deposition of minerals from dripping water.
  • Stalagmites: These are formations that rise from the floor of a cave due to the dripping of mineral-rich water, not hanging from the ceiling.

Summary: Stalactites are the icicle-like pendants of calcite hanging from cave ceilings.
