The EMF of a cell is given by the following expressions:

EMF = Reduction potential of cathode - Reduction potential of the anode 

EMF = Reduction potential of cathode + Oxidation potential of the anode 

EMF = Oxidation potential of anode - Oxidation potential of the cathode

Hence, the relations (b) and (d) are correct.
