The object which is most likely to be damaged by an acid is Choice D: An aluminium can.

When an acid undergoes ionization in an aqueous solution, the positively charged ion released is; Hydroxonium ion, H30+.

In essence, the hydrogen ion of an acid can be displaced by the Aluminium ion in the aluminium can.

This phenomenon is evident in the arrangement of metals in the electrochemical series.

Aluminium is more reactive than the hydrogen ion. As such, an Aluminium can is most likely to be damaged by an acid.
