Answer:

Physical

Step-by-step explanation:

Physical weathering is defined as the geological process in which rocks are broken down but there is no change in their chemical composition.

Granite tor are the rock masses above the ground surface which are associated with granites

Granite Tor is an example of physical weathering as they formed by freeze–thaw weathering. Granite tor are formed when magma present in the crust cools down and form batholith. Rocks above batholith gets erodes and left the batholith to expose.

Hence, the correct answer is "Physical weathering'.
