Since I cannot find the choices, I will tell you some of the benefits of electroplating in different industries. You can compare these benefits with the choices you have and choose the best fit.
1- Forms a protective layer to protect the material from the conditions of the atmosphere as the corrosion
2- Improves the appearance of some inexpensive materials and makes them look more appealing
3- Can enhance the electrical conductivity of materials
4- electroplating of zinc-nickel or gold can survive high temperatures
5- Sometimes hardens the material
6- Increases the thickness of the material
