The correct answer is: -0.413 V

Reduction potential of hydrogen electrode can be calculated Using Nernst equation for 2H++2e-H2

Ered=Ered0-0.059nlogpH2H+2

For  a neutral solution H+ ion concentration is 10-7 as pH=7

EH+|H20=0-0.05912log110-72            =0-0.05912log1014            =-0.0591×142log10              =-0.413V
