Electrolysis of aqueous

\mathrm{CuSO}_4(0.1 \mathrm{M})

was carried out in two cells I and II. In I, the electrodes are of Cu and in II they were of Pt . As the electrolysis proceeds pH of the electrolyte solution will:

Options

Adecrease in II and remain the same in I
Bremain the same in both I and II
Cincrease in both I and II
Dincrease in I and decrease in II

Correct answer

A. decrease in II and remain the same in I
