The weathering of rock caused by salt is referred to as **B) haloclasty**. Haloclasty specifically involves the breakdown of rocks due to the crystallization of salts, which can occur in arid environments or coastal areas where saltwater can evaporate and leave salt deposits that expand and contract, leading to the disintegration of the rock.
