The correct statement is:

Uplifting exposes rocks to erosion, while burial exposes rocks to heat and pressure.

This statement accurately reflects the processes involved in the rock cycle, where uplifting brings rocks closer to the Earth's surface, making them more susceptible to erosion, while burial typically involves increasing temperatures and pressures as rocks are buried deeper within the Earth.
