Solution

The correct option is A standard electrode potential
The maximum voltage which can be produced between the poles of the cell is determined by the standard electrode potentials under the standard conditions under which those potentials are defined.
In an electrochemical cell, an electrical potential is created between two dissimilar metals. Separation of charges takes place and a potential is developed called electrode potential. This potential is a measure of the energy per unit charge which is available from the oxidation/reduction reactions to drive the reaction.
Thus Standard conditions for measuring electrode potentials are Standard electrode potential.
