$F e^{+ 2} + 2 e \to F e; E^{o} = 0.44 V$
$F e^{+ 3} + 1 e \to F e^{+ 2}; E^{o} = + 0.77 V$
$S n^{+ 4} + 2 e \to S n^{+ 2}; E^{o} = + 0.13 V$
$I_{2} + 2 e \to 2 I; E^{o} = + 0.54 V$
$C r^{3 +} + 3 e \to C r; E^{o} = 0.74 V$

Solution

The correct options are
A Strongest oxidising agent is $F e^{3 +}$
D $S n^{+ 3}$ can oxidise $I$
As $F e^{+ 3}$ have highest reduction potential so it is strongest oxidising agent among all.
Also, according to given values $S n^{+ 3}$ can oxidise iodide ion.
