the honeycomb - like appearance of this sandstone is a result of a) salt weathering. b) hydrolysis. c) oxidation. d) frost wedging.

Answer

# Answer: A. salt weathering. # Brief Explanations: Salt - weathering can cause honeycomb - like features in sandstone as salt crystals grow and exert pressure on the rock. Hydrolysis involves chemical reactions with water, oxidation is related to oxygen - based reactions, and frost wedging is due to ice expansion, none of which typically create this honeycomb appearance as directly as salt weathering.
