Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In an electrochemical cell, reduction (gain of electrons) always occurs at the cathode, regardless of whether the cell is electrolytic or galvanic. At the anode, oxidation (loss of electrons) occurs. Memory aid: 'RED CAT' (REDuction at CAThode), 'AN OX' (OXidation at ANode). In electrolysis, the cathode is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, attracting cations which get reduced.
