The Electrochemical Reaction Which Powers a Lead-Acid Storage Battery Is $\to$

Multiple Choice

The electrochemical reaction which powers a lead-acid storage battery is as follows:
Pb(s) + PbO₂(s) + 4H⁺(aq) + 2SO₄^2-(aq) $\to$ 2PbSO₄(s) + 2H₂O(l)

A) Pb(s) is reduced to PbSO₄(s) .
B) PbO₂(s) is reduced to PbSO₄(s) .
C) PbO₂(s) is oxidized to PbSO₄(s) .
D) Pb(s) is oxidized to PbSO₄(s) .
E) H⁺ is oxidized to H₂O(l) .
