Solution

The correct option is A F, F
The electrode at which oxidation takes place in a electrochemical cell is called the anode. The electrode at which reduction occurs is called the cathode. The identity of the cathode and anode can be remembered by recognizing that positive ions, or cations, flow toward the cathode, while negative ions, or anions, flow toward the anode.
