Which outcome accelerates corrosion in marine steel pilings?

A)Formation of galvanic microcells on surface
B)Passivation layer of chromium oxides forms
C)Cathodic protection prevents active oxidation
D)Deposition of a uniform zinc coating

💡 Explanation

Galvanic corrosion accelerates because **electrochemical potential differences** establish ionic electrical circuits, therefore localized oxidation increases near cathodes rather than uniform breakdown because passivation or cathodic protection would prevent this process.
