Answer: The Cathode

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduction always occurs at the cathode, and oxidation always occurs at the anode. Since reduction is the addition of electrons, electrons must travel toward the site of reduction. In an electrolytic cell the negative charge is on the cathode, while the positive charge is on the anode.

i hope this helps :)
