Solution

The correct option is A

Chemical effect of electric current is primarily used for electroplating. Electroplating involves passing an electric current through a solution called an electrolyte. This is done by dipping two terminals called electrodes into the electrolyte and connecting them into a circuit with a battery or other power supply.
