DB, D only

Step-by-step explanation

The lead storage battery is as shown in diagram. Lead storage battery consists of lead anode and a grid of lead packed with lead oxide(PbO2) as cathode, a 38% solution of H2SO4 is used as an electrolyte. During charging of battery PbSO4 deposited on cathode is converted in PbO2 and PbSO4 deposited on anode is converted into Pb. The electrolyte used in battery is H2SO4 which is about 38% by mass.
