Solution

The correct option is A 0.78V and spontaneous
Fe2++2eFe; E=0.44V -(1)
Cu2++2eCu; E=+0.34V- (2)
Inverting (1)
FeFe2++2e E=+0.44V- (3)
Since number of electrons involved in both the reactions are same we can add (2) and (3). On addition,
Fe+Cu2+Fe2+Cu
E+0.34V+0.44V=0.78V
G=nFE
Since E is positive then G is negative.
When G is negative, reactions are spontaneous.
