Anode Cathode

A.

Sulphur hydrogen

B.

Hydrogen oxygen

C.

Oxygen Hydrogen

D.

Hydrogen sulphate ions

E.

Sulphur oxygen

Correct answer is C

Dissociation of sulfuric acid,

H2SO42H+(aq)+SO24(aq)

Dissociation of water,

H2OH+(aq)+OH(aq)

At Anode : 4OH2H2O(l)+O2(g)+4e

At Cathode : 2H+(aq)+2eH2(g)
