Solution

The correct option is B only $A u$
If $N O_{3}^{-}$ oxidises ant metal, then net cell emf should be positive.
As we know,
$E_{c e l l} = E_{o x i} + E_{r e d}$

So for all those cells,
$E^{o} = E_{O P_{v}}^{o} + E_{R P_{N O_{3}^{-}}}^{o} = + 1.19 + 0.96 = 2.15 V$
$E^{o} = E_{O P_{F e}}^{o} + E_{R P_{N O_{3}^{-}}}^{o} = + 0.04 + 0.96 = 1.0 V$
$E^{o} = E_{O P_{A u}}^{o} + E_{R P_{N O_{3}^{-}}}^{o} = - 1.40 + 0.96 = - 0.44 V$
$E^{o} = E_{O P_{H g}}^{o} + E_{R P_{N O_{3}^{-}}}^{o} = - 0.86 + 0.96 = + 0.10 V$

$E_{c}^{o} e l l > 0$ means reaction is spontaneous. Hence, $N O_{3}^{-}$ can't oxidise Au.
