The response that would MOST LIKELY cause the rock to break apart is:
A. Water freezes in the cracks.
This process, known as frost wedging, occurs when water seeps into cracks in the rock and freezes, expanding as it turns to ice. This expansion can exert enough pressure to cause the rock to break apart over time.
