Answer 1

To accurately arrange steps in the transformation of rocks into soil, we typically follow a sequence similar to the one outlined below:

1. Weathering of Rocks (This can be either physical or chemical weathering which breaks down rocks into smaller particles).
2. Formation of Soil (As these weathered particles combine with organic matter and other components, they form soil).
3. Soil Development (This includes the accumulation of nutrients and the development of soil profiles over time).

Since you provided a choice without defining what each step involves, an ideal sequence based on common geological processes would be:

• Step 1: Weathering of Rocks
• Step 2: Formation of Soil
• Step 3: Soil Development

If the steps are labeled based on your options, the correct arrangement of steps would be "step 1, step 2, step 3." Without specific details on the actual content of the steps, the most reasonable choice would typically be:

Option A: step 1, step 2, step 3.

If you have particular definitions or descriptions for "step 1," "step 2," and "step 3," please share those for a more precise answer.
