Which pedogenic outcome results when chemical weathering exposes feldspar?

💡 Explanation

Clay minerals form because feldspar undergoes hydrolysis during chemical weathering, converting aluminosilicate minerals through the process of solution weathering into clay. Therefore, option A is correct; rather than sandy quartz or other soil textures, clay formation is favoured under such weathering conditions.
