Why are objects electroplated?

1. To protect it from corrosion.
2. To prevent spoilage of objects.
3. To make it appear shining.
4. All of the above

Correct answer: To protect it from corrosion.

Solution

Electroplating deposits a thin layer of a less reactive or more protective metal on an object. This helps prevent the underlying metal from corroding, which is the main purpose here.
