In the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solution, which of the half cell reaction will occur at anode?

A

$2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_2+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+4 e^{-} E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=+1.23 \mathrm{~V}$

B

$2 \mathrm{H}^{+}$(aq) $+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_2 E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=0.00 \mathrm{~V}$

C

$\mathrm{Na}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}(\mathrm{s}) E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=-2.71 \mathrm{~V}$

D

$\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q) \longrightarrow \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Cl}_2+\mathrm{e}^{-} E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=1.36 \mathrm{~V}$
