Which outcome occurs when sacrificial anodes deplete preventing electron flow?

A)Increased corrosion rate on steel hull
B)Electrolyte resistance exceeds threshold
C)Polarization effects become dominant overall
D)Passivation layer spontaneously reforms slowly

💡 Explanation

When sacrificial anodes deplete, cathodic protection ceases; therefore, the steel hull corrodes at an accelerated rate because galvanic corrosion resumes owing to the absence of electron supply, rather than cathodic prevention given by the anodes if working properly.
