Answer: B. To connect two electrodes

Step-by-step explanation:

The salt bridge forms a connecting link between the two electrodes. The function of the salt bridge is not to supply electrons from one electrolyte to another but to maintain a constant balance of charge as the electrons move from one half of the cell to the another. The electrons from from negative electrode to positive electrode that is from anode to cathode.
