Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) Friction oxidation, wear oxidation and false brinelling

The best I can explain: Fretting corrosion is one of the special types of erosion-corrosion. It also called friction oxidation, wear oxidation, chafing, and false brinelling. Because it gets initiated with wear or friction and oxides debris are formed during corrosion.
