Solution

The correct option is A using the impure copper plate as the positive terminal electrode.

Rohit can purify the copper plate and get the pure copper by using the below mentioned electrolytic setup. On using the impure copper plate as the positive terminal electrode, the metal dissolves from impure copper plate and goes in the copper sulphate solution. The dissolved metal present in the solution is deposited on the cathode and the impurities are left in the copper sulphate solution.
