Solution
The correct option is B Galvanisation In the process of galvanisation, iron is covered with a thin layer of zinc. Zinc forms a thick layer of zinc oxide when it comes in contact with air. And this layer prevents the contact of iron with air and water. In this way, our iron objects get protected from rusting.
