B. iron; cause
C. oxygen; cause
D. oxygen; prevent

Respuesta :

aluminum reacts with oxygen by causing corrosion, the most common is rust

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When aluminium reacts with oxygen, it results in the formation of a layer of aluminium oxide on its surface.

This outer layer gets corroded but it forms a protective coating for the inner layers that prevents from further corrosion.

Thus, we can conclude that metals like aluminum can react with oxygen to form coatings that prevent corrosion.
