Answer:

C. A wildfire burns down a forest of trees, leaving fertile ash behind.

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering is, "The main process in mechanical weathering is abrasion, a physical process by which rocks and clasts are reduced in size. Abrasion by ice, water, and wind processes loaded with sediments can have immense cutting power", this is the exact definition and answer C does not have anything to do with rocks :), hope this helped!
