Solution

The correct option is B Ag
In a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal of the activity series can displace a less reactive one in its salt solution.

Reactivity order is:
Mg>Zn>Cu>Ag.

Thus, we see that Ag is least reactive and of the given
four metals, Ag would be displaced from the solution of its salts by the other three metals.
