Solution

The correct option is C zinc
Galvanisation is the method of applying a protective layer on metal to prevent the metal from corrosion.

A coating of zinc is applied on iron or steel during galvanization. It prevents iron from coming in direct contact with air and water. Thus, preventing it from rusting.
