Rock weathers the most when first exposed, then more slowly.

The longer the rock has been exposed, the more it has weathered.

The correct response is:
Rock weathers the most when first exposed, then more slowly.
This means that initially, when a rock is first exposed to weathering agents (like water, temperature changes, and mechanical forces), it experiences a rapid rate of physical weathering. Over time, this rate slows down due to factors like reduced surface area as some material is worn away.
