Solution
The correct option is B cathode
Electroplating refers to a process that adds a surface layer of metal to another type of metal. It's typically used to prevent corrosion and rust and to extend the useful life of the metal underneath the electroplated metal.
The object on which we have to deposit a material,is always at the cathode because deposition takes place at cathode.
