Which is one way that chemical weathering influences mechanical weathering?

A.

Winds scrape the rock layers away, exposing them to acids in the rain.

B.

The roots of plants fit into cracks of iron-rich rocks, exposing them to moisture in the air, which causes the rocks to rust.

C.

Acids in the rain create holes in the rock, which allows water to get inside for ice wedging.

D.

Plants secrete acids that create holes in iron-rich rocks, thereby exposing them to moisture in the air, which causes the rocks to rust.
