Based on the following information,arrange four metals $A, B, C$ and $D$ in order of decreasing ability to act as reducing agents:
$[I]$ Only $A, B$ and $C$ react with $1 \ M \ HCl$ to give $H_2 \ (g)$.
$[II]$ When $C$ is added to solutions of the other metal ions,metallic $B$ and $D$ are formed.
$[III]$ Metal $C$ does not reduce $A^{n+}$.

Which of the following statements is not correct?

Which reactions are possible due to electro-chemistry in human brain?

Redox reactions play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential $(E^{\circ})$ of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. $A$ simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their $E^{\circ}$ ($V$ with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values.
$I_2 + 2e^{-} \rightarrow 2I^{-} \quad E^{\circ} = 0.54 \ V$
$Cl_2 + 2e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cl^{-} \quad E^{\circ} = 1.36 \ V$
$Mn^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+} \quad E^{\circ} = 1.50 \ V$
$Fe^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+} \quad E^{\circ} = 0.77 \ V$
$O_2 + 4H^{+} + 4e^{-} \rightarrow 2H_2O \quad E^{\circ} = 1.23 \ V$
