The description that best fits the formation of Horizon B is:

**undergoes the most change.**

Horizon B, also known as the subsoil, typically forms beneath Horizon A (topsoil) and is characterized by the accumulation of minerals and nutrients leached from above due to processes such as weathering and biological activity. This horizon often shows significant alteration compared to the parent material, reflecting the changes that occur through soil formation processes.
