The answer is a. hydrogen atoms becoming hydrogen ions

Josue Larson · Answer 2

Thr half reaction that would occur at the anode side of a fuel cell where hydrogen is used would be hydrogen atoms becoming hydrogen ions. Also, releasing 4 electrons. In the cathode side, it would be the formation of water molecules from oxygen and hydrogen ions.
