The answer to this question has been explained in two parts : Part 1 and Part 2
Part 1 explains the disproportionating nature of Pb (lead) i.e. it undergoes oxidation and reduction simultaneously.
Part 2 deals with the working of a lead storage battery cell and
gives the reason as to why OPTION C is
correct.
