Solution

The correct option is A $I_{2}$ will be reduced to $I^{-}$
${2 I}^{-} \to I_{2} + {2 e}^{-} (o x i d a t i o n h a l f - r e a c t i o n)$
$E_{O x i d a t i o n}^{0} = - 0.536 V$
${F e}^{3 +} + e^{-} \to {F e}^{2 +} (r e d u c t i o n h a l f - r e a c t i o n)$
$E_{R e d u c t i o n}^{0} = - 0.77 V$
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
${2 F e}^{3 +} + {2 I}^{-} \to {2 F e}^{2 +} + I_{2}$
$E^{0} = E_{o x i d a t i o n}^{0} + E_{R e d u c t i o n}^{0}, + v e$
Hence the reaction will take place.
${2 I}^{-} \to I_{2} + {2 e}^{-} (o x i d a t i o n h a l f - r e a c t i o n)$
$E_{O x i d a t i o n}^{0} = - 0.536 V$
${F e}^{3 +} + e^{-} \to {F e}^{2 +} (r e d u c t i o n h a l f - r e a c t i o n)$
$E_{R e d u c t i o n}^{0} = - 0.77 V$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$2 F e^{3 +} + {2 I}^{-} \to {2 F e}^{2 +} + I_{2};$
$E^{0} = E_{o x i d a t i o n}^{0} + E_{r e d u c t i o n}^{0}; + v e$
