Answer:

The answer is A (A process that breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Water freezes, then thaws, weakening the rocks. then, wind and MORE water (maybe,) breaks off small rocks and rock particles. It then (again, maybe,) will go to a river, and the rock will then become sediment due to compaction and cementation.
