Answered by GPT-4o mini
The green patina that forms on the copper skin of the Statue of Liberty is primarily a result of **oxidation**. This occurs when copper reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture, leading to the formation of copper oxide and subsequently copper carbonate, which gives the statue its characteristic green color. Hence, the correct answer is **oxidation**.
