In galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the:

A Cathode

B Anode (negative terminal, where electrons are released)

C Salt bridge

D External wire

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Galvanic cell: oxidation at anode (AN OX), reduction at cathode (RED CAT). Anode is negative in galvanic cells.

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "In galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the:" is Option B: Anode (negative terminal, where electrons are released).

The other options — A) Cathode, C) Salt bridge, D) External wire — are incorrect for this Everyday Science question. As explained above: Galvanic cell: oxidation at anode (AN OX), reduction at cathode (RED CAT). Anode is negative in galvanic cells.
