The answer is corrosion.
Corrosion is the oxidative deterioration of a metal. This type of oxidation causes the maximum damage. It lessens various properties of the material (primarily metal) like permeability, structure, strength and appearance. Corrosion primarily takes place during wet weather and results in rusting.

DETERIORATION ==> This is the state of being decayed or destroyed
OXIDATIVE ==> This means taking place in the presence of oxygen.
Corrosion causes deterioration of metals.
Corrosion is caused by either a Chemical reaction or oxidation of a metal.
The corrosion caused by oxidation of a metal surface is known as rusting.
This occurs when the metal surface reacts with oxygen or rather is oxidized to form a thin layer of metal oxide which is rust thus the metal deteriorates.
The best answer is thus rusting since it's the oxidative deterioration of metals given that oxygen is involved.
