(A) In the symbolic representation of a galvanic cell,the oxidation half-reaction is written on the left side and the reduction half-reaction on the right side.
In the given reaction,the oxidation of $Cu$ to $Cu^{2+}$ and the reduction of $Ag^{+}$ to $Ag$ occurs.
The two vertical lines represent the salt bridge placed between these two half-cells.
The complete representation of the cell is: $Cu | Cu^{2+} || Ag^{+} | Ag$
