If the Standard Reduction Potential of Zn Is -0

If the standard reduction potential of Zn is -0.76 V, which of the following statements about a cell whose half-cells are Zn²⁺/Zn and SHE is correct?

A) SHE will be the cell's cathode, Zn(s) will be the cell's anode, and the measured cell potential will be 0.76 V.
B) SHE will be the cell's anode, Zn(s) will be the cell's cathode, and the measured cell potential will be 0.76 V.
C) SHE will be the cell's cathode, Zn(s) will be the cell's anode, and the measured cell potential will be -0.76 V.
D) SHE will be the cell's cathode, Zn²⁺(aq) will be the cell's anode, and the measured cell potential will be 0.76 V.
E) H⁺(aq) will be the cell's cathode, Zn²⁺(aq) will be the cell's anode, and the measured cell potential will be 0.76 V.
