The correct option is A True

Dry cell:

  • A dry cell is usually made from Zinc(Zn) which serves as the anode with a negative electrical polarity, while the inert Carbon(C) core is the positive electrical pole cathode.
  • Zinc–carbon dry cells are single-use primary cells.
  • In a dry cell the Carbon(C) Core top acts as the positive terminal.

Thus, the given statement is True. i.e., Zinc is used to make dry cells and electrodes.
