Default P0430 need to confirm a couple of things

I have the check engine light on. After scanning more than once I get the P0430 code which is catalyst efficiency below threshold bank 2.

I have a couple of questions.

My search seems to point me to an O2 sensor. but which sensor is it? Pre cat or Post cat?

Is bank number 2 the drivers side? (left hand drive models)

Thanks in advance

You can hope it's one of them but don't be shocked if it's the cat itself!

In hopes that it is the o2 sensors is there one I should try first? Pre cat or Post Cat?

If it is the cat any recommendation for purchasing a reasonable priced one? At the dealer they really get your money.

Thank you,
