Which one of the following is the cathodic reaction in a fuel cell?

  1. A \(\text{2H}_2(\text{g}) + 4\text{OH}^-(\text{aq}) \rightarrow 4\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) + 4\text{e}^-\)
  2. B \(\text{O}_2(\text{g}) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) + 4\text{e}^- \rightarrow 4\text{OH}^-(\text{aq})\)
  3. C \(\text{PbO}_2(\text{s}) + \text{SO}_4^{2-}(\text{aq}) + 4\text{H}^+(\text{aq}) + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{PbSO}_4(\text{s}) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l})\)
  4. D \(\text{Pb}(\text{s}) + \text{SO}_4^{2-}(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{PbSO}_4(\text{s}) + 2\text{e}^-\)
