Options
A involves reducing and oxidizing agents
B driven by loss and gain of electrons
C utilize and not produce electrical energy
Correct Answer
D produce or utilize electrical energy
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Hint

Batteries produce electricity; electrolysis uses electricity.
