Answer»

Right choice is (a) AgCl

Easy explanation: SILVER on reaction with chlorine forms silver chloride. It ACTS as a protective layer and prevents chlorine to CORRODE further. Here SnCl2 and CaO are volatile in nature whereas Fe2O3 is POROUS in nature. HENCE, they can’t act as protective layers.
