Solution

The correct option is C Graphite and steel
The process of electroplating chromium on metal objects is known as chroming. This procedure is used to reduce corrosion and for decorative purposes. Trivalent chromium plating is done on graphite to prevent its oxidation. Here, chromium chloride or chromium sulphate is used for electroplating. This is mainly used to make the product thicker. Chromium is plated on steel for decorative purposes and makes the metal corrosion resistant. It is used in car parts and utensils. Both bakelite and teflon are special types of plastic.
