Answer:

The correct answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Lemon has citric acid which dissolves metal, but again it depends on which type of a metal. Stainless steel does not react with acids but mild steel does. Again citric acid can be used to remove oxides from the metals. it dissolves rust (oxides) and thus removing it from metal surfaces.
