The standard electrode potentials are: $K^{+}/K = -2.93 \ V$,$Ag^{+}/Ag = 0.80 \ V$,$Hg^{2+}/Hg = 0.79 \ V$,$Mg^{2+}/Mg = -2.37 \ V$,$Cr^{3+}/Cr = -0.74 \ V$. Arrange these metals in the increasing order of their reducing power.

  • A
    $Ag < Mg < K < Hg < Cr$
  • B
    $Mg < Cr < Hg < Ag < K$
  • C
    $Hg < Mg < K < Ag < Cr$
  • D
    $Ag < Hg < Cr < Mg < K$
