Answer:

The answer could be any of the options here. All of them are ways that rocks and ground can be worn down, and all of them happen regularly. If it is found by hikers, then landslides would be a decent cause for the crack in the boulder.

The image is not provided, so a definite answer cannot be give, but I hope this still helps : )
