Detailed Solution

Silver, iron, and copper react with oxygen in the atmosphere or with sulfur dioxide to form oxides. These oxides of each metal have their characteristic color forming a colored coating on the article.  

The colored coating formed is the result of metal corrosion in the presence of oxygen or sulfur dioxide or other compounds. The coating is generally a thin layer. Also called turbidity. 

Let's see what it looks like in each case.

  1. Silver-black coating (Silver sulfide)
  2. Copper-green coating (copper oxide)
  3. Iron-reddish brown (ferric oxide)

Hence, the correct option is (D).
