(c) A + B⁺ ---> A⁺ + B

Explanation:

Since the emf of the hypothetical electrochemical cell is positive (+0.20V), the choice of electrodes as mentioned in the convention is correct.

Anode reaction (oxidation):

A ---> A+ + e-

Cathode reaction (reduction):

B+ + e- ---> B

Cell reaction:  

A + B⁺ ---> A⁺ + B, E(0-cell) = +0.20V

Hence Option C is the answer.
