Solution
The correct option is AE0W−/W2>E0Y−/Y2>E0X−/X2>E0Z−/Z2 The element having lower electrode potential can reduce elements having higher electrode potential.
In this sequence, X− reduces Y (hence, E0Y−/Y2>E0X−/X2) , Z− reduces X (hence, E0X−/X2>E0Z−/Z2), but W− cannot reduce Y (as E0W−/W2>E0Y−/Y2).
Hence, the sequence of electrode potential in option A is correct.
