Solution

The correct option is A anode, cathode
During charging of a battery, the electron flow from the anode to the cathode in the circuit and opposite in the electrolyte.
When a load is applied across the battery, that is when it is discharging, the anode is the positive terminal. Electrons flow from cathode to anode in the circuit and opposite in the electrolyte.
