Answer 2

B. negative ions are attracted to the anode.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electrolysis reaction is the set of two half reactions, an anodic oxidation and a cathodic reduction. The process takes place in an electrolyte, an aqueous solution or dissolved salts that give ions the possibility to be transferred between two electrodes. The electrolyte is the connection between the two electrodes that are also connected with a direct current. If you apply an electric current, the positive ions migrate to the cathode while the negative ions will migrate to the anode. Positive ions are called cations and are all metals and can receive electrons. Anions are negative ions and they normally have the opportunity to give electrons away.
