How does the paint on a car to keep it from rusting?
•the paint acts as a catalyst.
•paint decreases the temperature of the metal.
•paint increases the surface area of the metal.
•paint protects the metal from exposure to oxygen.

Option-(C): Paint increases the surface area of the metal.Different machines and more over vehicles are painted for the reason of protecting it from any possible rusting. As there a number of rusting agents which are present all over the place, and they increase the chances of rust formation on the surface of the metal body.Just because the rust is the collection of unwanted and harmful agents (present on the unprotected or unpainted)surface of the machine) which tends to break the basic links or bonds between the different atoms or molecules, which results in a more deformed form of structure for the vehicle. The paint are there to have a defense line like mechanism for each of the vehicle, as it enhances the cars layers capacity to widen up and there is a lot of space for the actual body of the car to remain protected under the paint's layer.
