Correct Answer:

Corrosion

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. Corrosion.

The correct answer is Corrosion.

Corrosion is the process by which metals deteriorate due to various chemical reactions with their environment. It causes damage to car bodies, bridges, iron railings, ships, and all objects made of metals by gradually wearing away the metal surface, weakening structures, and compromising their integrity. Corrosion can occur due to exposure to moisture, oxygen, acids, salts, and other environmental factors, leading to rusting, pitting, tarnishing, and other forms of degradation.
