Earthquakes are not directly involved in the weathering process, but can potentially trigger other geologic events (such as landslides) that may contribute to weathering over time. The other choices (microscopic open spaces, lava vesicles, joints, and faults) are all physical features that can enhance weathering processes by providing avenues for water, wind, and other agents of erosion to more easily access and break down rock materials.
