Which one of the following is correct? As the cell discharges electrons would flow from the in the salt bridge A - VCE - SSCE Chemistry - Question 16 - 2012 - Paper 1

In a galvanic cell, during discharge, the zinc electrode acts as the anode and loses electrons to the silver electrode, which functions as the cathode. The direction of electron flow is from the zinc electrode to the silver electrode. Additionally, in the salt bridge, anions (which carry a negative charge) will migrate toward the zinc half-cell to balance the charge resulting from the oxidation of zinc. Thus, the correct statement regarding the flow of electrons and the migration of ions is option D.
