A Correct answer
Explanation

Weathering is influenced by climate (temperature/moisture), vegetation (biological action), and rock structure (mineral susceptibility). While glaciers are primarily agents of erosion, they contribute to physical weathering through pressure changes and plucking. The options contain a typo (referencing a '5'), but A is the most inclusive valid choice.
