Solution

The correct option is B
Helps him get the facts right

Oxidation at anode : reduction at anode

Teacher helps him get the facts right.

The electrolysis results in the deposition of metas at cathode where reduction process takes place and the after oxidation at anode the diatomic gas is formed.
