    Corrosion can be defined as the deterioration of materials by chemical processes. Of these, the most important by far is electrochemical corrosion of metals, in which the oxidation process M ? M+ + e is facilitated by the presence of a suitable electron acceptor, sometimes referred to in corrosion science as a depolarizer.

    Correct Option: B

    A Galvanic cell, also known as battery, is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from spontaneous redox reactions taking place within the cell. It is typically used as a source of electrical power. By their nature, they produce direct current. A battery is a set of galvanic cells that are connected in parallel.

    Soldering is the process of joining two metals by the use of a solder alloy, and it is one of the oldest known joining techniques. It is possible because of the property of cohesion, the interaction between adjacent parts of the same body and as acting throughout the interior of substance. Soldering leads to alloy formation at the layer between two metals.
