Solution:

The above statement is true.

Carbon electrodes are commonly used in electrolytic cells because they are non-metallic and good conductors of electricity. Conductivity through liquids can take place using carbon. An electrode is a type of electrical conductor that makes contact with a non-metallic part of a circuit. Carbon electrodes are used in electrolysis. The process of decomposing ionic compounds into their elements by passing a direct electric current through the compound in a fluid form is known as electrolysis.
