  • A
    A layer of lead dioxide is deposited over pipes
  • B
    Lead reacts with air to form litharge
  • Lead reacts with water containing air to form $Pb{(OH)_2}$
  • D
    Lead forms basic lead carbonate

Answer

Correct option: C.
Lead reacts with water containing air to form $Pb{(OH)_2}$
c
Lead pipes are not suitable for drinking water because Lead reacts will water containing air to form $Pb ( OH )_2$ which is poisonous for our health.
