Detailed Solution

In the electrolytic reduction of A12O3, coke powder is applied over the molten electrolyte to block heat radiation from the surface and avoid corrosion of the graphite anode.

Coca-Cola stops the airborne burning of graphite electrodes (oxygen). Therefore, we may conclude that powdered coke reduces the radiation-induced loss of heat and the corrosion of the graphite anode.

Hence Correct option is D
