Solution

The correct option is B Beaker ‘A’
The element zinc is higher than copper in the reactivity series. zinc is more reactive than copper.

Therefore, zinc displaces the copper ions in CuSO4 to form a stable compound ZnSO4 and Cu gets deposited at the bottom of the beaker A.

Further, in beaker B there would not be any reaction as copper is lesser reactive than zinc.
