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 the solution

(A)The positive and the negative ions both will move towards the anode
(B)The positive ions will start moving towards the anode and 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 ions and the negative ions will start moving randomlyCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Removing the cathode breaks the circuit, so there is no electric field in the solution and the ions revert to
