A. a tropical region that is hot and humid all year long

Tropical regions are most likely to support chemical weathering due to the warm temperatures and high humidity, which facilitate chemical reactions and the breakdown of minerals. In contrast, arid and polar regions lack the moisture and temperature conditions necessary for significant chemical weathering.
