Detailed Solution
A redox reaction in which SRP of oxidising agent is lesser than SRP of reducing agent is non-spontaneous and does not occurs. Alternatively, If Ecell comes to be negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and does not occur.For option (4), E0= E0(Cathode)-E0(anode)= +0.54V-1.09V=-0.55V ;
