rock is broken down into soil and small grains
C
soluble nutrients and minerals are drained from soil through water action
D
soil/rock is moved from one surface to another by wind/water/glaciers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, decomposition is a metabolic process, taking up raw materials in the form of complex compounds, processing it and then converting it into simpler compounds. Bacteria, fungi and a few other microorganisms initiate the process of decomposition and are known as decomposers. They feed on dead organisms to survive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Decomposition of organic matter is a process, which includes mostly physical breakdown and biochemical transformation of complex organic molecules into simpler organic and inorganic molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Decomposition or rot is the process by which dead organic substances are broken down into simpler organic or inorganic matter such as carbon dioxide, water, simple sugars and mineral salts.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposition is a process in which large organic matter is broken up by abiotic and biotic factors into smaller parts such as nutrients and humus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Decomposition is the process of breaking down dead and decaying organic matter into simpler substances with the action of microbes. Q.
