During electrolytic refining of zinc, it gets:
(a) deposited on cathode.
(b) deposited on anode.
(c) deposited on cathode as well as anode.
(d) remains in the solution.

Solution

Option (a) is correct.

Since the cathode is negatively charged, during the electrolytic refining of zinc, zinc ions get deposited on the cathode.
