A common metal that is highly resistant to corrosion is: (a) Iron (b) Copper (c) Aluminium (d) Magnesium

Solution:

Option (c) is the answer. Because a thin oxide layer forms on the surface of aluminium, it resists corrosion (aluminium oxide or Al2O3). This inhibits additional corrosion by forming a thick protective coating on the metal’s surface.
