Which outcome rapidly increases the rate of corrosion in bronze cannons stored near coastal environments?

💡 Explanation

When bronze cannons are stored near the coast, the presence of saltwater electrolyte facilitates galvanic corrosion because copper becomes an anode to tin cathode, resulting in increasing corrosion rate. Therefore, galvanic corrosion results rather than stress, dezincification (irrelevant), or erosion which require different material properties or mechanisms.
