Which consequence results when exposed titanium dioxide degrades paint?

💡 Explanation

Chalking happens because UV light causes electron-hole pairs in the titanium dioxide pigment; the photocatalytic oxidation mechanism then decomposes the organic binder. This causes pigments become loosely bound and release, therefore resulting in chalking rather than the other options that involve different degradation and forces.
