The correct Answer is:
a,c

Cathodic protection `:` A techniquie to control corrosion of a metal surface by making it work as a cathode of an electrochemical cell by placing in contact with a the metal to be protected another more easily corroded matal to act as the anode of the electrochemical cell. Most commonly used to protect steel, water pipelines, and storage tanks.
