Solution

The correct options are
A painting
B galvanizing

To prevent iron articles from rusting, avoid the direct contact of iron articles with oxygen, or water, or both. If there is no direct contact of metal with the atmosphere than rusting will happen slowly. One simple way is to apply a coat of paint or grease. In fact, these coats should be applied regularly to prevent rusting. Another way is to deposit a layer of a metal like chromium or zinc on iron. This process of depositing a layer of zinc on iron is called galvanisation.
Scrubbing is used to remove harmful materials from industrial exhaust gases before they are released into the environment.
