  • A
    the standard reduction potential of $Li^{+} / Li$ is lower than that of $Cu^{2+} / Cu$
  • B
    the standard reduction potential of $Cu^{2+} / Cu$ is lower than that of $Li^{+} / Li$
  • C
    the standard oxidation potential of $Li / Li^{+}$ is lower than that of $Cu / Cu^{2+}$
  • D
    $Li$ is smaller in size as compared to $Cu$
