The question was asked in an online quiz.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Preparation of Thin Films topic in section Preparative Methods of Solid State Chemistry

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Thermal deposition

The explanation is: Thermal oxidation is a process where a substance get oxidized in the presence of temperature. For example many substances oxidize in air at high temperature and in some cases the product is a n inert film which inhibits further oxidation. Oxidation increases as the temperature increases.
