Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissolution refers to the process of minerals being dissolved into water. This can occur due to chemical or physical processes, resulting in the minerals being incorporated into the water molecules. Rust (B) is a form of oxidation that occurs when iron and oxygen react, and it is not necessarily related to dissolution. Similarly, mineral absorption and expansion (C) and mineral removal by frost (D) are not specific to dissolution.
