Solution

The correct option is A True
Some metals undergo chemical changes when they come in contact with moisture, sulphur, and gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen present in air.
This causes degradation of metals and is known as corrosion.
E.g. iron rusts when it comes in contact with air and moisture.
