Solution
The correct option is B Chlorine
Chlorine is the resulting product at anode when electrolysis of a dilute solution of sodium chloride occurs.
Hydrogen ions having lower discharge (or higher reduction ) potential than sodium ions are liberated at cathode.
Simultaneously, chloride ions having lower discharge (or higher reduction potential) than hydroxide ions will be liberated at the anode.
