Sagot :

Answer:

D. Oxidation

Explanation:

In an electrolytic cell, oxidation (the loss of electrons) takes place at the anode. At the cathode reduction takes place.

A mnemonic technique that could be used is that the process that starts with a vowel (Oxidation) takes place at the place that also starts with a vowel (Anode).
