Answer:

Solid Zn.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Anode is the electrode (metal) at which oxidation process is occurred (electrons produced).
  • Cathode is the electrode (metal) at which reduction process is occurred (electrons consumed).

In the shown diagram:

  • Zn is oxidized to Zn²⁺ and produces 2 electrons.
  • Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu and consumes 2 electrons.

So, the anode is solid Zn.
