    -ve potential means the process is not feasible.

    eduncle-logo-app

    Here reduction potential of A is negative

    eduncle-logo-app

    Meaning reduction of A is not possible.

    eduncle-logo-app

    But when you reverse the process i.e A- = A + e- it's potential will become positive

    eduncle-logo-app

    Now positive potential means process is feasible.

    eduncle-logo-app

    Now you can solve the problem accordingly check if the proces is oxidation ( removal of electron)

    eduncle-logo-app

    A- oxidation is feasible.

    eduncle-logo-app

    option D is correct

    3.) The more negative the potential is the more likely the element will be oxidized. Hence, A− is readily oxidized. Option D is correct
