Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

In this scene, the speaker is making a joke about getting a "C- in rocks". Part of the joke is that a class only about rocks and not even the science behind them doesn't exist, and she didn't take a class at all. Therefore, "rocks" is simply referring to rocks in this scene, not geology as a whole.
