An electrode is strip of metal on which the reaction takes place. In a voltaic cell, theoxidation and reduction of metals occurs at the electrodes. There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell, one in each half-cell. The cathode is where reduction takes placeand oxidation takes place at the anode.

So, the answer is A. anode

Hope this helps:-)
