Answer:

I'm sure that it's B, Rocks with gap and cracks weather more quickly than rocks with smooth surfaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rocks with gap and cracks weather more quickly than rocks with smooth surfaces, because water can go inside the gaps of the rocks, which causes weathering, because it slowly splits the rock apart.

Hopefully, this helps! :D
