The shorthand notation for a galvanic cell includes the anode, cathode, and salt bridge in order from left to right. The anode is where oxidation occurs, so it includes the substance being oxidized first (FeS1U1P12) and its corresponding ion (S1S1P0). The cathode is where reduction occurs, so it includes the substance being reduced first (FS1U1B0) and its corresponding ion (FS1U1P1-). The salt bridge is represented by the double line (||) and separates the anode and cathode. Therefore, choice D is the best representation of the given cell reaction. Choices A, B, and C either do not include all required components, have incorrect placement of components, or have incorrect notation for the substances involved in the reaction.
