The electrochemical cell shown below is a concentration cell.
$M \mid M^{2+} (\text{saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt, } MX_2) \mid M^{2+} (0.001 \ mol \ dm^{-3}) \mid M$
The emf of the cell depends on the difference in concentration of $M^{2+}$ ions at the two electrodes. The emf of the cell at $298 \ K$ is $0.059 \ V$.
$1.$ The solubility product $(K_{sp}; \ mol^3 \ dm^{-9})$ of $MX_2$ at $298 \ K$ based on the information available for the given concentration cell is (take $2.303 \times R \times 298 / F = 0.059 \ V$):
$(A) \ 1 \times 10^{-15} \quad (B) \ 4 \times 10^{-15}$
$(C) \ 1 \times 10^{-12} \quad (D) \ 4 \times 10^{-12}$
