Solution

The correct option is A E0W/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.
