Solution
The correct option is BCuSO4+Fe→FeSO4+Cu The blue coloured solution is CuSO4 solution. Iron (Fe) is more reactive than copper (Cu). So, Fe displaces Cu from the CuSO4 solution and forms FeSO4 solution which is green in color. Brown-red deposition in a test tube is of copper. Such types of reactions are called displacement reactions.
