Solution
The correct option is D Alkaline crystallisation
In rocky coasts, the salty sea waves hit the sea cliff. Seawater is alkaline, and some of the water droplets may hit the cracks in the rocks at these coasts. When this happens, the soluble minerals in the rock get dissolved in the water. It leads to the formation of small holes in the rocks which look like a honeycomb.
