Correct Answer: Abrasion


Solution : The correct option is Abrasion .

Mushroom rocks, formed through abrasion in deserts, result from wind-blown sand eroding the lower portion of a rock, creating a pedestal-like shape. Over time, abrasive forces wear away softer rock layers, leaving a more resistant cap resembling a mushroom. Famous examples include the Valley of Mushrooms in the Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona, showcasing these unique geological formations shaped by erosive processes.
