Answer:

C. It is nonspontaneous and requires an electric current.

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between chemical species. In redox reactions, a reduced half and an oxidized half occur together. When an object is electroplated, the occurrence of a redox reaction is nonspontaneous and it requires an electric current.
