Metals are commonly used in medical implants, but they have the disadvantage of tending to corrode. When a metal corrodes, the metal is worn away or gradually destroyed.

Which of these is the most likely solution for preventing metal corrosion when metal is used in the human body?

• Cover the metal in a non-reactive chemical

• allow the metal to form compounds with tissue

• increase the surface area of the metal

• allow the metal to absorb fluids from the body
