Answer»

The correct answer is (b) CHROMIUM

For explanation I would say: The liners are exposed to ammonia vapor at about 500 degrees centigrade and then quenched. Chromium plating improves the resistance to wear and corrosion. The USE of chromium with aluminum ALLOY results in INCREASED thermal EFFICIENCY.
