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
Correct Answer: D
