The correct option is D H2SO4 is consumed
The electrodes of the cells in a lead storage battery consist of lead grids. Dilute sulfuric acid H2SO4 serves as the electrolyte. When the battery is delivering a current, i.e., discharging, the lead at the anode is oxidized. When the cell is under load, there is an electric field in the electrolyte that causes negative ions (SO2−4) to drift toward the anode plate. During the discharge operation, acid is consumed and water is produced.
