only Iron at of all metals that exhibit corrosion(Rust)...If u said all metals exhibit corrosion,what of Gold,stanless steel,Do they exhibit corrosion also?Are they not metals?so not all metals that is exhibited by corrosion..Option 'A' is correct.

Corrosion is exhibited by all metals above hydrogen in the electrochemical series which are electropositive metals hence the answer is option B.
Corrosion of iron is called rusting

All metals are electropositive so B and D are correct.

because when iron is exposed to air for a long time, it will rust

The correct answer is: B. electropositive metals

Explanation:
Corrosion is a process where metals deteriorate due to reactions with environmental agents like water, oxygen, acids, or salts. It is particularly common in electropositive metals, which have a greater tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions — making them more reactive and more prone to corrosion.

Iron corrodes (forming rust), but it's not the only metal that does — so A is too narrow.

Metals below hydrogen in the electrochemical series are actually less reactive and less likely to corrode — so C is incorrect.

Not all metals corrode easily — some like gold and platinum are very resistant — so D is too broad.


Therefore, the best and most accurate choice is: B. electropositive metals.
