C Correct answer
Explanation

Chemical weathering requires water to dissolve, react with, and transform minerals. Humid tropical regions have constant high temperatures and abundant rainfall year-round, creating ideal conditions for rapid chemical weathering. The combination of moisture and heat accelerates chemical reactions that break down rocks. Arid regions lack sufficient water, while semi-arid and Mediterranean regions have seasonal dry periods that limit continuous chemical weathering.
