Solution

The correct option is A Solution
Many minerals interact with the water or acids in their environment and often form solutions in this process. Minerals in the rock get dissolved slowly by the water, and a solution is created. These dissolved minerals get leached out, leaving behind no residue. This process, over a long time, weakens the rock and the rock disintegrates.
