    B)  reduction potential

    C)  oxidation potential

    D)  emf

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The tendency of an electrode to lose electron is known as oxidation potential while the tendency to gain electron is called reduction potential. \[M\xrightarrow{{}}{{M}^{n+}}+n{{e}^{-}}\]     (oxidation potential) \[{{M}^{n+}}+n{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}M\]     (reduction potential)
