Zinc can be coated on iron to produce galvanized iron,but the reverse is not possible. This is because:

  • A
    zinc is lighter than iron
  • B
    zinc has a lower melting point than iron
  • C
    zinc has a lower negative electrode potential than iron
  • D
    zinc has a higher negative electrode potential than iron
