Answer: anode.
- A cathode
- B anode
- C salt bridge
- D connecting wire
Correct answer: B. anode
Explanation: Oxidation always occurs at the anode; reduction at the cathode.
In a Daniell cell, electrons flow externally from the zinc anode (oxidation) through the voltmeter to the copper cathode (reduction), while the salt bridge completes the circuit.
