Answer: B. The electrode at which a reduction reaction occurs.

Explanation: I just took the quiz (A P E X)

Cathode is the electrode at which a reduction reaction occurs.

What is Cathode ?
Cathode is the electrode which occurs at reduction and current enters the cell. Cathode attracts cations. Cathode means negative side.

Now check options one by one

Option (A): The electrode not releasers ions into the solutions because here positive ions gains electrons not lose electrons.

So option (A) is incorrect.

Option (B): The electrode at which a reduction reaction occur and current enter in the cell.

So it is correct answer.

Option (C): The electrode that is oxidized in a redox reaction is anode not cathode.

So it is incorrect answer.

Option (D): Anode is the electrode which loses the electrons.

So, option (D) is incorrect.

Thus, we can say that Cathode is the electrode at which a reduction reaction occurs.
