During the electrolysis of carnallite,$MgCl_2$ is decomposed and not $KCl$. This is because of

  • A
    lower decomposition voltage of $MgCl_2$ than that of $KCl$
  • B
    reverse reaction $MgCl_2 + 2K \to Mg + 2KCl$ if $KCl$ is decomposed under other experimental conditions
  • C
    both $(A)$ and $(B)$
  • D
    none of the above
