Answer:

A voltaic cell that uses the oxidation of a fuel to produce electricity

Step-by-step explanation:

A fuel cell is a voltaic cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidizing agent into electricity.

A. is wrong. This definition is so broad that it could include a candle in a cup.

C is wrong. The batteries in flashlights and cell phones are not fuel cells.
