Frost wedging is most likely to occur in:
**A) A temperate region that experiences multiple freezes and thaws each year.**
Frost wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and subsequently thaws, causing the cracks to widen over time. This process is most effective in temperate climates where there are frequent cycles of freezing and thawing.
