b. plating decreases fatigue strength of a machine element
c. plating does not affect fatigue strength of a machine element
d. unpredictable

ANSWER: plating decreases fatigue strength of a machine element
 
The internal residual stresses importantly affect the fatigue strength of a machine element. These internal residual stresses are affected by plating. Thus plating decreases fatigue strength of a machine element.
