Solution

The correct option is A For a spontaneous process,
A will act as anode and B will act as cathode
Standard reduction potentials (SRP) of the half cell electrodes are calculated and arranged in a series of increasing order which is known as electrochemical series.
The standard electrode potential of $H^{+} / H_{2}$ couple is zero.

A positive $E^{0}$ signifies that it has high tendency to get reduced and the redox couple is a stronger oxidising agent than the $H^{+} / H_{2}$ couple.

Negative $E^{0}$ signifies that it has high tendency to get oxidised and the redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than the $H^{+} / H_{2}$ couple.

Thus, A is easily oxidised to $A^{-}$

For a spontaneous process, $E_{c e l l}^{0}$ should be a positive value.
$E_{c e l l}^{\circ} = SRP of substance reduced - SRP of substance oxidised$
(SRP - Standard reduction potential)

$E_{c e l l}^{\circ} = E_{c a t h o d e (r e d)}^{\circ} - E_{a n o d e (r e d)}^{\circ}$
$E_{c e l l}^{\circ} = (+ v e) - (- v e)$
$E_{c e l l}^{\circ} = + v e$
