(b) Cellulose paint

(c) Cement paint

(d) Anti-corrosive paint

I have been asked this question in a job interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Types of Paints in chapter Painting, Varnishing, Distempering, etc of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Anti-corrosive paint

To explain I would say: A pigment such as chromium oxide or lead or red lead or zinc chrome is taken and after mixing it with some quantity of very fine sand, it is added to the anti corrosive paint. The advantages of anti corrosive paint are: it is cheap and it last for long duration.
