Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option D) "A memorial made of quartz, located a few miles away from the sea".

Explanation:

Quartz is a hard mineral comprised of silicon dioxide, which is highly resistant to weathering and to erosion because of its property of doesn’t having cleavage. A memorial made of quartz, located a few miles away from the sea would experience least amount of weathering and erosion in Hawaii. Putting the memorial far from the sea will help to avoid the weathering and erosion that humidity produce on minerals.
