Answer 1

The most likely change for a huge, jagged rock sitting atop a windy cliffside over many years is that it will be subjected to weathering processes such as wind erosion, which will wear down sharp edges and reduce its size. Therefore, the rock is likely to become smaller and smoother.

So the correct response is: B It will become smaller and smoother.
