Solution

The correct option is B The given redox process is spontaneous
In the given cell reaction.
Zinc is getting oxidised and Ag is getting reduced;
at anode: Zn Zn2+ + 2e
at cathode: 2Ag+ + 2e 2Ag
after oxidation the concentration of Zn2+ ion increases and solution becomes negatively charged;
hence, only option B is correct.
