What is stray current corrosion, and how can it differ from ordinary galvanic corrosion?

A. Stray current corrosion is identical to galvanic corrosion in every respect
B. Stray current corrosion is driven by an external electrical fault (often shore power wiring, a faulty appliance, or a marina's own wiring) rather than the boat's own dissimilar metals — it can be far more aggressive and rapid than natural galvanic corrosion, and can affect a well-bonded, well-anoded boat that would otherwise be protected
C. Stray current corrosion only occurs on boats that have never been connected to shore power
D. Stray current corrosion is a myth with no real electrochemical basis
