Answer options

BA cracked wheel or rim is safe to use once it has been welded
CRust around the lug nuts can be a sign that they have loosened Correct

Rust around the lug nuts is a common clue that they have loosened. Welding does not make a cracked wheel or rim safe, and a wheel missing even one lug nut is defective, so either problem must be repaired before the vehicle is driven.
