O Warm and dry
O Warm and humid (wet)

Cold and dry climate causes the greatest rate of physical (mechanical) weathering.

Explanation:

The first option is not correct because these climates have a relatively slow rate of weathering.

The second option is correct because these climates have the highest rates of mechanical weathering, which is primarely because of the exposure of the rocks to the very strong winds that blow almost always.

The third option is not correct because the rate of mechanical weathering is not very high, yet alone the greatest.

The fourth option is not correct despite these climates having the highest weathering rates, generally speaking when it comes to the mechanical weathering they slightly fall behind the cold and dry climates.
