(B) The reducing power of a species is inversely proportional to its standard reduction potential $(E^o)$.The given standard reduction potentials are:$E^o (Al^{3+}/Al) = -1.66 \ V$$E^o (Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}) = +0.77 \ V$$E^o (Br_2/Br^-) = +1.09 \ V$$A$ more negative $E^o$ value indicates a stronger reducing agent.Comparing the values: $-1.66 \ V Therefore,the order of reducing power is $Br^- < Fe^{2+} < Al$.
