Solution

The correct option is A an electrolytic cell
During the charging of a lead accumulator cell, the electical energy is stored in the form of chemical energy. Thus, the electrical energy derives non-spontaneous chemical reactions. Hence, during charging, the lead accumulator cell acts as an electrolytic cell.
