As we learnt in 

Secondary Battery -

These cells can be recharged and can be used again and again e.g. lead storage battery, Nickel - cadmium storage cell.

-

 

 The reaction takes place as follows:

Pb\left ( s \right )+SO_{4}^{2-}\rightarrow PbSO_{4}+2e^{-}\, \, \left ( Anode \right )

PbO_{2}\left ( s \right )+4H^{+}\left ( aq \right )+SO_{4}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_{4}(s)+H_{2}O\left ( l \right )\, \, \left ( Cathode \right )

Pb\left ( s \right )+PbO_{2}+4H^{+}\left ( aq \right )+SO_{4}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2PbSO_{4}(s)+2H_{2}O(l)

Clearly sulphuric acid is consumed while discharge

\therefore Solution is 4

Incorrect

Option 2)
