Answer:

The answer to your question is • B. Salt

Step-by-step explanation:

The rain that falls on the land contains some dissolved carbon dioxide from the surrounding air. This causes the rainwater to be slightly acidic due to carbonic acid. The rain physically erodes the rock and the acids chemically break down the rocks and carries salts and minerals along in a dissolved state as ions.

I hope this helps and have a wonderful day!
