Solution

The correct option is A O>N>M
The electrode which has more reduction potential is a good oxidizing agent and has least reducing power.

The electrode which has less reduction potential,it has more reducing power.

Reducing property is the tendency to donate electrons. Since O has the lowest reduction potential it will have the highest reducing property. Similarly with N and M.

Hence,option A is correct.
