Which result occurs when granite bedrock undergoes intense hydrolysis?

A)Kaolinite clay mineral formation
B)Deposition of authigenic gypsum
C)Enhanced mechanical fracturing alone
D)Formation of resistant quartzite pebbles

💡 Explanation

Kaolinite clay is produced because hydrolysis chemically weathers feldspars in granite, rather than exclusively mechanical breakdown; therefore, clay minerals will form rather than deposition, fracturing, or resistant pebbles because of feldspar's breakdown.
