Solution

The correct option is D $M g + {M n}^{2 +} \to$
$E_{A}^{0} = (0.00 - 1.03) = - 1.03 V$
$E_{B}^{0} = (2.37 - 1.03) = 1.34 V$
$E_{C}^{0} = (1.03 - 2.37) = - 1.34 V$
$E_{D}^{0} = (- 0.16 - 0.00) = - 0.16 V$
$E_{E}^{0} = (- 0.16 - 2.37) = - 2.53 V$

Reaction is feasible if $E^{0}$ is positive. Therefore, only reaction B is possible.
