Answers (1)

The answer is the option (i). Copper and zinc can be purified by using electrolyte refining method. In this process, impure metal acts as anode and a strip of pure metal is used as a cathode. Impurities from the blister copper or impure zinc deposit are used as anode mud. The electrolytic refining of copper and zinc is done to get high grade metals.
