In electrolysis of NaCl when Pt electrode is taken then H₂ is liberated at cathode while with Hg cathode it forms sodium amalgam

Options

(a) Hg is more inert than Pt
(b) More voltage is required to reduce H⁺ at Hg than at Pt
(c) Na is dissolved in Hg while it does not dissolve in Pt
(d) Conc. of H⁺ ions is larger when Pt electrode is taken
