Solution

The correct option is A Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true; Statement-II is correct explanation for Statement-I.
The absolute value of E0 or E cannot be determined as neither oxidation nor reduction reaction of half-cell occurs alone. Moreover we have to use a reference electrode i.e. an electrode with known value of electrode potential.
