Ah, the age-old question of sulfidation susceptibility. I bet the engineers who came up with this question had a good laugh about it. Anyway, I'm sticking with option C - chemical composition. Seems like the most logical choice to me.

I agree with both of you. It's a combination of chemical composition and corrosion resistance that determines sulfidation susceptibility.

I'm leaning towards option A - corrosion resistance. That seems like a key factor to consider.

I think you're right, option C - chemical composition, plays a big role in sulfidation susceptibility.

Hah, this is a tricky one! I'm going to have to go with the chemical composition. I mean, what else would it be? Tensile strength or yield strength? Come on, that's just silly.

Yeah, I think you're right. Corrosion resistance is important too, but chemical composition is key.

I agree, it has to be the chemical composition. That's the main factor.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) Corrosion resistance, as materials with good corrosion resistance may be less susceptible to sulfidation.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I was thinking it might be the corrosion resistance, but chemical composition makes sense too. I'll have to think about this a bit more.

I agree with Wynell, because the chemical composition affects how the material reacts to sulfidation.

I think it's the chemical composition of the material that determines its susceptibility to sulfidation. That option C looks like the correct answer to me.
