In the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solution which of the hall cell reaction will occur at anode?

A

`Na^(+)(aq) + e^(-) to Na(s), E_("cell")^(@) = -2.71 V`

B

`2H_(2)O(l) to O_(2)(g) + 4H^(+)(aq) + 4e^(-), E_("cell")^(@) = 1.23 V`

C

`H_(aq)^(+) + e^(-) to 1/2 H_(2)(g), E_("cell")^(@) = 0.00V`

D

`Cl(aq) to + 1/2 Cl_(2)(g) + e^(-), E_("cell")^(-) = 1.36 V`
