Solution

The correct answer is A. A blue color has moved towards the negative terminal and a yellow color towards the positive terminal. This is because when the electric current is applied, the nickel(II) sulfate solution undergoes electrolysis. The nickel(II) ions (which are blue) are reduced at the negative terminal (cathode), and the sulfate ions (which are yellow) are oxidized at the positive terminal (anode).
