B.

Anions are oxidized

C.

Cations are oxidized

D.

Cations are discharged.

Correct answer is D

Cations are discharged at the cathode during electrolysis.

Electrolysis is the process of using an electric current to cause a chemical reaction to take place. The cathode is the negative electrode in an electrolytic cell. It is where cations (positively charged ions) are discharged
