A
Chemical weathering
💡 Explanation:
Chemical weathering is not a primary agent of riverine erosion, as it is a slow process that occurs over long time scales. Hydraulic action, abrasion, and attrition are the primary agents of riverine erosion, as they involve the physical breakdown of sediment by the force of flowing water and sediment particles.
