Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Frost wedging is a mechanical weathering process where water in rock cracks freezes (expanding) and thaws repeatedly, causing rocks to split. Exfoliation involves rock layers peeling due to pressure release, chemical weathering involves chemical changes, and "maj may" is irrelevant. So the correct option is frost wedging.
