Answer:

A) erosion

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of erosion is the one responsible for the changes in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Erosion is a natural process in which certain processes (water flow, ice, snow or wind, for example) remove soil, rock or dissolved materials from the Earth's crust, transporting it to another location. Over time, this weathering down and transportation of materials can change the shape of the surface of the Earth in significant ways.
