(d) (i) and (ii)
The answer is option (a).
Weathering is a slow process of soil formation. The soil is formed by the process of weathering, in which the rocks break down by the action of wind, water and climate.
The soil is classified on the basis of the proportion of particles of various sizes. If the amount of large and fine particles is about the same, then the soil is called loamy. The loamy soil consists of sand, clay and silt along with humus.
