Solution

The correct option is D

Corrosion resistant


The process in which a layer of metal is deposited onto the surface of another metal on passing electricity is known as electroplating or electrodeposition.

The benefits are mentioned below -

- The surfaces, when coated with a layer of a less reactive metal, control corrosion.

- Metals have lustre and hence provide a decorative coating.

- Metals have high strength and hardness, hence provide durability.

Metals are sonorous but this physical property of metal has nothing to do with electroplating.
