Assertion`(A): ` The rusting on the surface of iron involves following reaction `:`
`a. Fe(s) rarr Fe^(2+)(aq)+2e^(-)`
`(` at anodic site `)`
`b. O_(2)(g) +4H^(o+)(aq)+4e^(-) rarr 2H_(2)O(l)`
`(` at cathodic site `)`
`c. 4Fe^(2+)(aq)+O_(2)(g) +4H_(2)O(l) rarr 2Fe_(2)O_(3)(s)+8H^(o+)`
`d.Fe_(2)O_(3)(aq)+xH_(2)O(l) rarr Fe_(2)O_(3).xH_(2)O`
