Solution

The example of weathering by water is (Choice A) Rainwater dislodges soil particles from the ground. This is because weathering involves the breaking down or disintegration of rocks and soils, which is what's happening in this scenario. The other options involve transportation and deposition, which are processes related to erosion, not weathering.
