The standard electrode potentials `(E_(M^(+)//M)^(@))` of four metals A, B, C and D are `-1.2V, 0.6V, 0.85 V and -0.76V`, respectively. The sequence of deposition of metals on applying potential is

Options

A. A,C,B,D
B. B, D, C, A
C. C, B,D, A
D. D,A,B,C

Answer

C

Explanation

As the value of reduction potential decreases the reducing power increases i.e. `C lt B lt D lt A`
`(0.85) , (0.6) , (-0.76) (-1.2)`
