JEE Main Chemistry question

Which of the following statements is not applicable to electrolytic conductors?

(A)A single stream of electrons flows from cathode to anodeCorrect
(B)They show a positive temperature coefficient for conductance
(C)New products show up at the electrodes
(D)Ions are responsible for carrying the current

Answer: (A)

Solution

In electrolytic conductors, current is carried entirely by the migration of positive and negative ions through the solution — no electrons flow through the electrolyte itself — so the claim of "a single stream of electrons" flowing from cathode to
