Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. Sunlight and rain

The correct answer is C) Sunlight and rain.
The Sun heats rocks during the day and they cool at night; rain adds moisture. This repeated heating, cooling and wetting cracks the rocks into smaller pieces (physical weathering), which slowly forms soil.
