Solution
The correct option is D Reaction cannot happen
In a reaction between a metal and the salt solution of another metal, the more reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in solution or molten form. In the above reaction, Copper (Cu) metal is less reactive than Iron (Fe) metal. So, Copper cannot displace Iron from its salt. Hence, the reaction cannot happen.
