if u hav 2 eyes then u must have seen tht there were bubbles Around A so "A" RUSTED BUT U R ALSO CORRECT ABT "B"..............HOPE BOTH OV them ARE CORRECT.......if the reasons stated are correct !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you have brain you would know that B is losing electrons
anyways i am not continuing this argument there is more than enough reasons to believe B was correct answer

this is a cell, and the more reactive metal is the anode.
oxidation always occurs at the anode

Yes but there are types of cells.....the type of cell u r talking about is the one with a metal and a non metal....look when u have a cell of like 2 different reactive metals, then the more reactive one goes into the solution as ions and gives out electrons...so this is the cathode as electrons flow from cathode to anode....in here since they flow from B - A....B is being oxidised as it is the cathode....

whatever it is, oxidation always occurs at the anode.

But since when does oxidation occur at anode?!?!

The electrons flow from cathode to anode, and since oxidation is loss of electrons, oxidation always takes place at the cathode not anode.....
