JEE Main Chemistry question

**Statement 1:** For a galvanic cell, oxidation takes place at the anode and reduction at the cathode.

**Statement 2:** Electrons in the external circuit move from the anode to the cathode.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not the correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (B)

Solution

Both statements are true facts about galvanic cells, but the direction of electron flow in the external circuit is a consequence/corollary of (and parallel observation alongside) the anode/cathode
