I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The correct relationship would be Eo cell > 0 = spontaneous reaction. For a spontaneous reaction, Ecell is positive and ΔG (Gibbs free energy, used to determine if a reaction occurs spontaneously) is negative. Hope this answers the question.
