The correct answer is: $3.92 \times 10^{15}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\text { } \Delta G^{\circ} & =-n F E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ} \\
\Delta G^{\circ} & =-2.303 R T \log K \\
\log K & =\frac{n F E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}}{2303 R T}=\frac{2 \times 96500 \times 0.46}{2.303 \times 8.31 \times 298}=15.56 \\
\log K & =15.56 \Rightarrow K=3.92 \times 10^{15}
\end{aligned}
$$
Hence, the correct option is (3).
