The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the flow of electrons. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: We have four options to consider: - Electroplating - Electric Current - Electrodes - Electrolyte 3. **Defining Electroplating**: Electroplating is a process where a metal is coated onto another metal using electric current. This is primarily for decorative purposes or to prevent corrosion. Thus, this option does not refer to the flow of electrons. 4. **Defining Electric Current**: Electric current is defined as the flow of electric charge, which is typically carried by electrons in a conductor. This directly corresponds to the flow of electrons, making this option a strong candidate for the answer. 5. **Defining Electrodes**: An electrode is a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an electrolyte. While electrodes are involved in the flow of current, they do not define the flow of electrons themselves. 6. **Defining Electrolyte**: An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. It allows the flow of ions but does not specifically refer to the flow of electrons. 7. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the term that correctly describes the flow of electrons is "Electric Current." **Final Answer**: The flow of electrons is called **Electric Current**. ---
