Solution

The correct option is D $O_{2}$
Solution:
We know that the brine solution is a mixture of $N a C l + H_{2} O$ . The electrolysis process involves using an electric current to produce a chemical reaction in order to form a new chemical compound. This electrolysis process is a large scale process used for the manufacture of $C l_{2}$ from salts, other $2$ compounds are formed during electrolysis is $N a O H$ and $H_{2}$ by the following reaction:

$2 N a C l + 2 H_{2} O \to 2 N a O H + C l_{2} + H_{2}$

$C l_{2}$ is seperated from $N a O H$ formed during reaction
$O_{2}$ will not formed during this reaction.

Hence option D is the correct answer
