Solution

The correct options are
B $(E_{r e d}^{\circ})_{c a t h o d e} - (E_{r e d}^{\circ})_{a n o d e}$
D $(E_{o x d}^{\circ})_{a n o d e} - (E_{o x d}^{\circ})_{c a t h o d e}$
EMF of cell is defined as difference between reduction potential of cathode and anode.
$∴ E M F = (E_{r e d}^{\circ})_{c a t h o d e} - (E_{r e d}^{\circ})_{a n o d e} . . . . (1)$
$(E_{r e d}^{\circ})_{a n o d e} = - (E_{r e d}^{\circ})_{a n o d e} . . . . (2)$
$(E_{r e d}^{\circ})_{c a t h o d e} = - (E_{o x d}^{\circ})_{a n o d e} . . . . (3)$
Substituting (2) & (3) in (1)
$E M F = (E_{r e d}^{\circ})_{a n o d e} - (E_{o x d}^{\circ})_{c a t h o d e}$
