Sodium cannot be extracted by the electrolysis
of brine solution because :
(a) Electrolysis cannot take place with brine solution.
(b) Sodium reacts with water to produce NaOH
+ H₂
(c) Sodium being more electropositive than
hydrogen, H₂ is liberated at cathode not
sodium.
(d) None.

(b) Sodium reacts with water to produce NaOH + H₂

Sodium is a highly reactive metal. When the brine solution is subject to electrolysis, Sodium is liberated, but it will immediately react with water and form NaOH. So sodium cannot be extracted by electrolysis of brine solution.
