Answer: I believe that (C) the oxidation is similar to iron and oxygen.

Explanation: The law of conservation of matter states that matter can't be created nor destroyed. So oxidation would be both iron and oxygen. It will only be changed, but will contain some of oxygen, and some of iron. so I believe the answer is (C)

Answer 2

C. Similar to both Iron and Oxygen.

Step-by-step explanation:

For iron to re­act with oxy­gen, it must be heat­ed be­fore­hand. Iron burns with a daz­zling flame, scat­ter­ing sparks – in­can­des­cent par­ti­cles of iron cin­der Fe₃O₄. The same re­ac­tion of iron and oxy­gen also takes place in air, when dur­ing me­chan­i­cal pro­cess­ing, steel heats up dras­ti­cal­ly from fric­tion.
