What type of metal reflect sunlight efficiently?

Any silvered or highly polished metal will reflect sunlight. But, a chromed surface (an electroplated surface of a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object) is very reflective and , apart from a looking-glass mirror, would be the most efficient.

What should I put for a hypothesis for unrusting metal with electricity?

There is no one definitive answer to this question. Some possible hypotheses that could be explored include: using electric current to prevent metal from rusting, using electric current to reverse the rusting process, or using electric current to promote the formation of a protective layer on metal that prevents rusting.
