Solution

The correct option is A A is the strongest oxidising agent among these.
The more the reduction potential of an element more is the oxidising power. Hence, it is a more effective oxidising agent. Less the reduction potential less is the oxidising power. Hence, it is a weak oxidising agent or strong reducing agent.

So, from the given data:
D is the strongest reducing agent among these.
A is the strongest oxidising agent among these.
