During electrolysis of fused NaCl in order to obtain Na, H2 is liberated at the cathode of Pt while with the cathode of Hg, it forms sodium amalgam. This is because

(I)  Pt is inert

(2)  Hg is a liquid

(3)  More voltage is required to produce H2 at Hg than at Pt

(4)  H ions are formed rapidly when Hg is used as a cathode
