Which horizon development occurs when regolith weathering increases?

💡 Explanation

More weathering leads to increased hydrolysis and thus clay mineral formation via chemical alteration, because the regolith becomes more chemically active; therefore, horizon development includes clay accumulation rather than decreased organic content under drier conditions.
