MHT CET Chemistry question

When electric current is passed through a cell having an electrolyte, the positive ions move towards the cathode and the negative ions towards the anode. If the cathode is pulled out of solution

(A)The positive and the negative ions both will move towards the anode.
(B)The positive ions will start moving towards the anode ; the negative ions will stop moving.
(C)The negative ions will continue to move towards the anode, the positive ions will stop moving.
(D)The positive and negative ions will start moving randomly.Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Removing the cathode breaks the circuit, so the electric field that directs the ions disappears; the ions then show only
