I believe your answer will be (B) Frost Wedging - and temperature plays a roll in the freezing of water in the cracks of rocks, causing Frost Wedging.

We know that volume of a mass of ice is more than the same mass of liquid water

When water freezes its volume increases

in rocks at low temperature the water present in the cracks of rocks expands increasing the gap of cracks further. this is known as frost wedging

Thus frost wedging is a result of temperature
