(c) Non-metallic ions

(d) Inorganic compounds

I have been asked this question in class test.

Question is from Wet Theory of Corrosion topic in chapter Corrosion, Electrolysis, Fuel Cells and Batteries of Engineering Chemistry II

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Non-metallic ions

To elaborate: In wet corrosion, non-metallic ions are formed at the cathodic areas. Cathodes are negatively charged electrodes and attract positive charges or non-metallic ions.
