Which of the following is an example of cathodic protection of metals against corrosion ?

Correct answer: B. Galvanised iron

  • A. Painted steel
  • B. Galvanised iron
  • C. Case hardened steel
  • D. Lead lined reactor

Explanation

In galvanised iron, zinc acts as a sacrificial anode and corrodes preferentially, keeping the underlying iron cathodic and protected. Paint provides a barrier but is not, by itself, cathodic protection.
