This question is so straightforward, it's making my head spin. Option A all the way! Though, I'm curious if the 'aggressive acid' is also highly flammable. Just a thought...

I'm going with Option A. Rapid corrosion and failure in a few hours or days? Sounds like a classic case of Murphy's Law at work. Better bring a hard hat to the exam hall, just in case!

Wait, what? Carbon steel resistant to aggressive acid? Whoever wrote this question must be living in a parallel universe. That's just absurd!

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Option B seems plausible too. General corrosion over time could also be a potential issue. Better safe than sorry, right?

Wow, this question is a no-brainer! Option A is clearly the correct answer. An aggressive acid in a carbon steel vessel? That's a recipe for disaster, no doubt about it.
