Question

Anthranilic acid at $\mathsf{pH} = 0$ exists as ...? and migrates toward which electrode during electrolysis?

Answer

The $\mathsf{pH} = 0$ means that the solution is strongly acidic, i.e. there is abundance of protons in it. Anthranilic acid (or 2-aminobenzoic acid) involves an amino group in its structure. In strongly acidic medium amino group is protonated:

Thus, at $\mathsf{pH} = 0$ anthranilic acid exists as 2-carboxyanilinium ion.

Since the ion is positively charged, it migrates to the negatively charged electrode (cathode) during electrolysis.
