(b) Effect on safety

(c) Reliability

(d) Contamination of product, effect on safety and reliability

I have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

Asked question is from Corrosion Damage topic in portion Corrosion Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Contamination of product, effect on safety and reliability

The best explanation: The market value of the product depends on purity and quality. Contamination of product decreases the market value of the product. Safety and reliability are the major concerns due to the catastrophic nature of corrosion. Economizing on materials of construction is not desirable if safety is risked.
