The correct option is C Both A and B
Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks but not their removal. It is described as the disintegration or decomposition of rock in size by natural agents at or near the surface of the earth. Pedogenesis or soil evolution was the process of evolution of soil through physical, biological, and climatic factors. Thus the correct answer is option D.
