Solution

Galvanization Iron sheets dipped in molten zinc Iron articles which are generally exposed to heavey moisture [Iron articles which are generally exposed to heavy protects iron]
[Zinc is more active than iron and forms zinc iron and hence readily than iron and hence protects iron.]
Tinning Iron sheets dipped in molten tin. Iron articles generally for edible applications Tinned boxes for vegetables, meat etc.
[Tinning is preferred to galvanization for articles used for edible applications. Galvanised steel is not used for food containers since food acids dissolve zinc forming poisonous compounds.]
chrome plating Iron articles electroplated with- chromium, nickel, ttin, copper, etc.  Iron articles generally- for decorative purposes, Jewellery, Cutlery, Motor-parts
[Chromeplating - on a metal object can be decorative, corrosion resistant and improves surface hardness. Method is however costly and used exclusively.]
