  • A.Attrition
  • B.Corrasion
  • C.Corrosion
  • D.Sapping

Answer: C

The removal of material by solution is called corrosion (chemical erosion): the water dissolves soluble minerals such as limestone and carries them away in solution.

Attrition is the wearing of the transported load as the particles knock against each other. Corrasion (abrasion) is the mechanical wearing of the bed and banks by the load. Sapping is the undermining of a slope or cliff at its base by spring flow. So only corrosion fits.
