B is correct

Explanation:

Battery contains sulfuric acid H2SO4. As the battery cools and eats with the running of the motor, hydrogen gasses is released from electrolytic reactions and escapes through the vents. it mixes with other particulates. The mixtures react at the electrical terminals of the battery and corrosion is formed.

Corrosion can be prevented by the addition of anti corrosion gel. It can also be removed by scrubbing the terminals with a hard brush
