Answer:

Technician A

Step-by-step explanation:

Galvanic corrosion is not on only one metal alone but caused when two metals are interacting. Thus, Duplicating the original installation method is a better option because re-using a coated bolt doesn't prevent galvanic corrosion because both materials must be coated and not just the bolt and in technician B's case he is coating just the bolt. Thus, technician B's method will not achieve prevention of galvanic corrosion but technician A's method will achieve it.
