Which soil horizon development increases rapidly when physical weathering intensifies?

💡 Explanation

Increased physical weathering accelerates the breakdown of bedrock, causing regolith formation in the C horizon; therefore, C horizon development increases, because weathering produces parent material rather than influencing organic matter, clay, or eluviation.
