The correct answer is:
Ag and $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$
(a)

This reaction is feasible, since $E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}$ is positive.
(b)

This reaction is feasible, since $E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}$ is positive.
(c)

This reaction is feasible, since $E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}$ is positive.
(d)

This reaction is not feasible, since $E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}$ is negative.
