Solution

The correct option is B Physical weathering
Physical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken apart by physical (heating, cooling, wetting-drying and frost action) and mechanical (abrasion by rain and hail, wind action) means. This causes unequal expansion and contraction of rocks which ultimately leads to the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles.
