Answer:

Rock A because after physical weather and chemical weathering it more likely for Rock A to experience more chemical weathering.

Explanation: Weathering: This is a geological term used to describe the various processes and Activities involved in the breaking down of rocks either through physical,mechanical,chemical etc actions into smaller particles.

ROCK A WILL HAVE MORE CHEMICAL WEATHERING BECAUSE THE PHYSICAL WEATHERING MUST HAVE BROKEN DOWN THE PARTICLES FOR EASY WATER AND OTHER SUBSTANCE NEEDED FOR EASIER CHEMICAL REACTION OR WEATHERING.
