Solution

The correct option is C Iron
Iron articles, when exposed to air and moisture for a prolonged time, acquires a brown flaky coating called rust. On rusting, iron articles lose their shine and strength. Rusting can be prevented by galvanising, painting or greasing iron articles.

However, stainless steel do not undergo rusting.
