B Correct answer
Explanation

Oxidation, carbonation, hydrolysis, and solution are all chemical weathering processes. These involve chemical reactions that break down rocks and minerals through processes like oxygen reacting with minerals (oxidation), carbon dioxide dissolving in water (carbonation), water reacting with minerals (hydrolysis), and minerals dissolving in water (solution). Biological weathering involves living organisms, while physical weathering involves mechanical breakdown.
