Answer: D
Explanation:
The inert electrode is an electrode that serves only as a source or sinks for electrons.
Precious metals, mercury, and carbon are typically used as inert electrodes.
It provides a surface for oxidation or reduction reaction but not for the redox reaction. It does not participate in the cell reaction.
Hence, option D is an incorrect statement.
