" ................ is the interaction of kinetic energy by the moving material to the surface along which it moves."
Answer: D
The process described is erosion.
Erosion is the removal of rock and soil by moving agents: running water, wind, glaciers and waves. The kinetic energy of the moving medium, and of the material it carries, acts on the surface it moves over, abrading and plucking away particles. That interaction between moving material and the surface beneath it is what the definition describes.
Weathering is the breakdown of rock in place, without movement. Mass movement is the downslope movement of material under gravity, and transport is the carrying away of material once it has been eroded, not the attack on the surface itself.
