- ACatalyst
- BElectrolyte
- CPolariser
- DBoth (1) and (3)
✓
Answer
- Electrolyte
Explanation:
A dry cell is a type of battery, commonly used for portable electrical devices.A standard dry cell comprises a zinc anode, usually in the form of a cylindrical pot, with a carbon cathode in the form of a central rod. The electrolyte is ammonium chloride in the form of a paste next to the zinc anode.Ammonium chloride is a strong electrolyte.
