Answer:

B. salt weathering

Step-by-step explanation:

Wedging Freeze is generated by repeated freezing. Freeze wedging occurs, whenever the water is turned into ice as a result of the 9 percent expansion. When it freezes, cracks full of water are forced to separate further. and other options are incorrect, that can be described as follows:

In option A, It is a state where the element converts into a liquid, that's why it is not correct.

In option B, It is a reaction in which the bonds of water is divided into particular substance, that's why it is not correct.

In option D, It is a form of mechanical or physical rock weathering, that's it is not correct.
