Answer 2

Answer:

C. An external voltage source

Explanation:

An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy from an external voltage source into chemical energy that drives a reaction.

The external voltage source is usually a battery. This energy form generated from the battery helps to drive chemical reactions.

The process involves the decomposition of an ionic compound by means of current passed into the aqueous or molten form of the compound through conductors known as electrodes.
