Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

1 Faraday of electricity is equal to the charge of 1 mole of electrons, which is 96,485 coulombs. The reduction of copper(II) ions in solution to copper metal requires 2 electrons per ion, so 1 Faraday of electricity will deposit 0.5 moles of copper.
1 Faraday * (2 electrons/Cu ion) / (1 mole electrons/96,485 coulombs) * (1 mole Cu/2 electrons) = 0.5 moles Cu
