Solution

A spontaneous redox reaction will occur when the sum of the voltages of the half-reactions is positive (Option A). This is because a positive voltage indicates that the reaction is releasing energy, which is a requirement for a reaction to be spontaneous. In contrast, a negative voltage would indicate that the reaction is absorbing energy, which would not be spontaneous. The voltage of the individual half-reactions (Options C and D) is not as important as the sum of the voltages, because it is the overall reaction that determines spontaneity.
