Which risk increases when aluminum oxide forms in molten cryolite?

A)Electrolyte polarization and reduced conductivity
B)Decreased alumina solubility within the electrolyte
C)Increased anodic overpotential at the electrode
D)Cathodic passivation halting aluminum deposition

💡 Explanation

Electrolyte polarization and reduced conductivity increase, because interfacial aluminum oxide layers induce an effective resistance via concentration polarization, therefore cell efficiency declines rather than increased alumina solubility or anodic/cathodic reactions.
