Which of the following statement is not correct about an inert electrode in a cell?
(a) It does not participate in the cell reaction.
(b) It provides surface either for oxidation or for reduction reaction.
(c) It provides surface for conduction of electrons.
(d) It provides surface for redox reaction.

Options

A. It does n ot participate in the cell reaction
B. It provides surface either for oxidation or for reduction reaction
C. It provides surface for conduction of electrons
D. It provides surface for redox reaction.

Explanation

To determine which statement is not correct about an inert electrode in a cell, let's analyze each option step by step.

### Step 1: Analyze Statement (a)
**Statement (a): It does not participate in the cell reaction.**
- Inert electrodes, such as platinum or graphite, do not undergo any chemical change during the electrochemical reaction. They serve as a platform for the reaction but do not themselves participate in it.
- **Conclusion:** This statement is correct.

### Step 2: Analyze Statement (b)
