In the Hoope's process for refining of aluminium, the fused materials form three different layers and they remain separated during electrolysis also. This is because

  • A

    The upper layer is kept attracted by the cathode and the lower layer is kept attracted by the anode

  • B

    There is special arrangement in the cell to keep the layers separate

  • C

    The $3$ layers have different densities

  • D

    The $3$ layers are maintained at different temperatures
