    Answer:

    Option (D)

    Explanation:

    Weathering refers to the disintegration of rocks due to the different geological processes that are initiated by agents such as wind, water and ice.

    In a region where the temperature is high, and there is sufficient amount of moisture content in the air, there occurs high rate of physical, chemical and biological type of weathering.

    • Physical weathering processes such as freeze-thaw method and exfoliation method commonly occurs in this type of region.
    • Chemical weathering processes such as hydrolysis, oxidation, as well as carbonation method occurs in the region of high temperature, moist climatic condition.
    • Biological weathering also is possible up to some extent as the plants takes up water from the rainfall and also receive enough sunlight for its growth, as a result of which it leads to the breakdown of rocks.

    Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
