Solution

The correct option is A 1
A metal in its highest oxidation state acts as an oxidant.
The highest oxidation state of the metal has strong tendency to accept electrons and go to lower oxidation state. It is already deficient in electrons and cannot lose further electrons. Hence, it acts oxidant and oxidizes other substance.
