` Al^(3+) `isoxidised toAl (s)
graphieanodeisoxidisedto carbonmonoxideandcarbondioxide
oxidationstate ofoxygenchangesin thereactionatanode
oxidationstate ofoxygenchanges intheoverallreactioninvolved in theprocess.

Solution :Pleasenotethatoxidationstate ofO doesnotchangein either thereactionoccuringatthe anodeortheoverallreactionasshownbelow:
Anode:`C +OVERSET ( 2-) Otooverset ( 2+) C +overset ( 2- ) O+2 e^- ,C +2 overset ( 2- )Otooverset ( 4 + ) C overset (2 - )(( O ) )_2`
Overall REACTION :` "" overset ( +3 )(Al_2) overset (-2)O_3+3C to2 Al++3overset ( +2 )C overset (2 - ) O `.
THUS,option(b) ISCORRECT.
