Answer:

hydrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

Polarization is defined as the change in electrode potential of an electrode in an electrochemical cell as electric current is being passed through the cell. It is a kinetic deviation from equilibrium as current is passed through the electrochemical cell.

It is sometimes as a result of the over-potential caused by the accumulation of hydrogen gas at an electrode.
