In a Voltaic cell composed of CuôCu(NO3)2 and AgôAgNO3 half-cells, what is the spontaneous cell reaction and the Eocell, respectively? The standard reduction potentials are as follows: 

                  Ag+(aq)  +  e  -->  Ag(s);       Eo = 0.80 V

                 Cu2+(aq)  + 2e  -->  Cu(s);      Eo = 0.34 V

         (A) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)  -->  2Ag+(aq) +  Cu(s);    Eocell = 1.14 V

         (B) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)  -->  2Ag+(aq) +  Cu(s);    Eocell = 1.94 V

         (C) Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq)  -->  Cu2+(aq)  +  2Ag(s);  Eocell = 0.46 V

         (D) Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq)  -->  Cu2+(aq)  +  2Ag(s);  Eocell = 1.26 V
