Answer:

Salt wedging.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperatures in Hawaii NEVER go below 0, so frost wedging is ruled out. It is unlikely abrasion will immediately affect a new rock. And since Hawaii is humid, salt crystals cannot stay in the rock, so therefore the answer is root wedging. I just did the quiz, so don't even-
