Solution
The correct option is A more of Pb and Fe2+ions The more electropositive metal can displace less electropositive metal from its salt solution.
Iron is more electropositive than lead. Thus, iron can displace lead from its salt solution. When powdered Pb and Fe are added to a solution containing Pb2+ and Fe2+ ions, some Pb2+ ions are reduced to Pb and some Fe is oxidized to Fe2+.
