ASurface area
Bconcentration of oxygen atoms in air
Ctemperature
Dall of the above
Eb and c

f) a and c

g) a and b

Verified Answer :

D
Larger surface area speeds up reactions 
Rust is an oxide so more oxygen should speed up rate of rust
Temperature also speeds up reactions

+ The humidity affects it aswell
