Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell in which chemical reaction helps in the development of electric current is known as an electrochemical cell.

For example, battery, fuel cell are both electrochemical cell.

In an electrolytic cell, electricity is provided to carry out the non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Whereas in a spontaneous reaction no initiation needs to be provided.

For example, a rechargeable battery.

Thus, we can conclude that a rechargeable battery is an example of an electrolytic cell.
