Question

Ag(s)/Ag+(0.30M)//Ag+(1.5M)/Ag(s)

at anode oxidation          Ag(s) ------------------- - Ag+(aq)   + e-

at cathode reduction     Ag+(aq) + e- ----------------- Ag(s)

                    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

                                Ag(s) + Ag+(aq, 1.5) ---------- Ag+(0.30M) + Ag(s)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E0 cell = 0.0V

Ecell= E0cell - 0.059/n log[Ag+] at anode/[Ag+] at cathode

      = 0.0- 0.059/1 log[0.30/1.5]

Ecell= -0.059 x ( -0.699)

Ecell= 0.041 V

Ecell = 0.04V

The answer is B.
