Solution

The correct option is D reduction
A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that contains at least two half cells containing electrodes. In this cell, the electrode on which oxidation takes place is called the anode (or – ve electrode) and the electrode on which reduction takes place is called the cathode (or + ve electrode).
