In the silver plating of copper, `K[Ag(CN)_(2)]` is used instead of `AgNO_(3)` . The reason is

A

More voltage is required

B

`Ag^(+)` ions are completely removed from solution

C

A thin layer of Ag is formed on Cu

D

Less availability of `Ag^(+)` ions, as Cu cannot displace Ag from `[Ag(CN)_(2)]^(-)` ion
