Question on: JAMB Physics - 2011

Which of the following will be applied when a metal Y is used to electroplate another metal X in electrolysis?

A
X is the anode and very high current is used
B
X is the anode and Y is the cathode
C
Y is the cathode and X is the anode
D
Y is the anode and very high current is used
