Detailed Solution

Al, Al2O3 has a charge of 3+. Al3++3e-Al Therefore, 3 Faraday are needed to produce 1 mole.  This means that 3F will produce 1 mole of Al2O3. Cu, CuSO4 has a charge of 2+. Cu2++2e-Cu Therefore, 2 Faraday are needed to power 1 mole.  Therefore, 3F will result in 1.5 moles of CuSO4. Na, NaCl has a charge of 1+ Na++e-Na As a result, 1 Faraday is needed to produce 1 mole, and 3  Faradays will produce 3 moles of NaCl, giving us the  ratio of 1 mole to 1.5 moles to 3 moles.

Therefore, the correct option is B
