Solution
The correct option is B
(iii) and (iv)
Explanation for correct option
(B) (iii) and (iv)
Electrolytic cell
“A device for using electrical energy to carry non-spontaneous chemical reactions.”
An electrolytic cell consists of a positivelycharged anode and a negatively charged cathode.
The cathode accumulates electrons and creates a negative charge when an electric current is introduced into the circuit. Now, the sodium cations are drawn to the cathode, which is negatively charged.
Explanation for incorrect option
An electrolytic cell consists of a positively charged anode and a negatively charged cathode. Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.
Hence, option (B) is correct. An electrolytic cell consists of a positively charged anode and a negatively charged cathode.
