b. carbon dioxide
C. mass movement
d. igneous rocks

Answer 1

A. Sediment

Both weathering and erosion produce sediment
Weathering, by definition, is the physical integration and chemical decomposition of earth materials at or near the earth’s surface. Erosion, by definition, is the gradual destruction of something by natural forces (e.g. water, wind, ice). Therefore, the characteristic of both weathering and erosion is that it occurs naturally.
