A) Reduction
B) Oxidation
C) Both [a] and [b]

Correct Answer: B
Solution :
After ionisation anion moves towards electrode such electrode is called anode. These negative ions on loosing electrons get oxidised. eg, \[NaClN{{a}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}\] At cathode \[N{{a}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Na\] At anode \[C{{l}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}\frac{1}{2}C{{l}_{2}}+{{e}^{-}}\]
