Correct answer
D. is formed at cathode
Step-by-step solution
Brine solution is the concentrated solution of in water.
The cathode will attract the sodium ions from the sodium chloride and hydrogen ions from the water. The hydrogen ions gain 2 electrons and are reduced to form hydrogen molecules.
The anode will attract the hydroxide ions from the water and chlorine ions from sodium chloride. The chlorine ions lose 2 electrons and get oxidised.
