What is deposited on iron in the process of ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. “Zinc”
In the process of galvanization, zinc is deposited on iron.
Galvanization is a technique used to apply a protective, rust-preventing coating to iron or steel. During this process, a layer of zinc is bonded to the base metal, typically through a method called hot-dip galvanization where the iron is submerged in molten zinc. The zinc coating serves as a sacrificial layer; it corrodes preferentially, protecting the iron underneath from rust and extending its lifespan.
