Solution

The correct option is A chemical
Electrolysis is an electro-chemical process in which current is passed between two electrodes through an ionized solution (electrolyte) to deposit positive ions (anions) on the negative electrode (cathode) and negative ions (cations) on the positive electrode (anode).
So we can say that electrolysis is due to the chemical effect of electric current.
Therefore, A is correct option
