The correct option is (b) Corrosion products precipitate in the metal matrix and metals such as Fe, Ni, and Co are highly prone to internal corrosion

Easy explanation: Internal corrosion is due to the one or more dilute alloying elements form more stable oxides than the base metal and preferentially forms corrosion in the metal matrix. Iron, nickel, and cobalt are the base metals that are prone to internal corrosion.
