Detailed Solution

Higher the position of element in the electrochemical series, more difficult is the reduction of its cation. Thus, among all the given elements, only calcium on electrolysis yields H2 gas at cathode while other yields pure metals at cathode. In case of Ca2+ ion, water is reduced in preference to calcium. 

For Cr at cathode, Cr3++3eCr

For Ag At cathode, Ag++eAg

For Cu At cathode, Cu2++2eCu

For Ca2+ At cathode, H2O+e12H2+OH
