Solution

The correct option is C
During electrolysis of water, acidified water is taken as the electrolyte and Pt electrodes are used as anode (positively charged electrode) as well as cathode (negatively charged). When electricity is passed through water, hydrogen gas gets collected in the cathode and oxygen gas in the anode.
