The correct answer is **hydrolysis and oxidation**.
Both hydrolysis and oxidation are processes of chemical weathering that involve chemical reactions that alter the minerals in rocks. Hydrolysis typically involves the reaction of minerals with water, while oxidation involves the reaction of minerals with oxygen, often affecting iron-containing minerals.
