Incorrect statement in electrolysis of $Al_2O_3$ by Hall-Heroult process is

A

Cryolite $Na_3[AlF_5 ]$ lowers the $m.pt.$ of $Al_2O_3$ and increases its electrical conductivity 

B

$Al$ is obtained at cathode and $CO_2$ at anode

C

$Li_2CO_3$ can be used in place of cryolite $(Na_3AlF_6)$

D

$MgF_2$ can be used in place of flourspare $(CaF_2)$

Solution

$Mg^{2+}$ cation will be preferentially discharged than $Al^{3+}$ at cathode.
