Frost wedging is a type of physical weathering of rock.

Explanation:

Physical or mechanical weathering affects the rock structurally but does not change the chemical composition. Mechanical forces will rub, break or shatter the rock surfaces. Wedging, abrasion, exfoliation are different types of physical weathering.

Water is one of the main sources which alter the structure of the rocks physically.

Frost wedging occurring due to flow of freezing water over the rocks. This frozen water enters the rock through the cracks and crevices on the rock surface,  and will expand inside and makes the rocks to crack further and breaks it apart.

My name is Ann [436]

The best answer is B (semi permeable)
The cell membrane of a red blood cell is semi permeable membrane. This is a type of biological membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through while barring others.

Red blood cells have very thin membranes that allow oxygen diffuse through quickly. They are also permeable to water and osmosis across the membrane occurs very rapidly. In the body, they are bathed  in isotonic plasma in which case water movement  into the cell is equal to water movement out of the cell and so the cells remain intact.
