Solution

The correct option is A $L i$
The more negative the value, the stronger the reducing agent.

From the table, it can be seen that the standard reduction potential of $L i$ is lowest so $L i$ has the highest tendency to lose an electron and it is a best reducing agent.

Hence, option A is correct.
