Respuesta :

Answer:

A. Chemical weathering

Explanation:

The major process responsible for the formation of the cave is called chemical weathering.

So what is weathering and what are the types?

  • Weathering is the physical disintegration  and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.
  • Physical weathering is  the mechanical breakdown of rocks.
  • Chemical weathering is the decomposition of rocks through chemical action.

Limestone is made up of calcium carbonate. It reacts with weak carbonic acid to form a solution which carves out a cave in the rock body.
