Well the answer of your question is "Na"
As the NaCl actually consist of Na and Cl so upon the electrolysis it gives the Na+ and Cl ions
At the cathode the reaction will be like following
Na+ + e- ⇒ Na
While on the anode end the reaction will be
Cl- ⇒ Cl + e-
The overall reaction will be like
NaCl⇒ Na+ + Cl-
Also, the fused NaCl is actually the molten NaCl.
Hope this will helps.
