(C) The reducing character of an element depends on its ability to lose electrons in an aqueous medium. This process involves three steps: sublimation,ionization,and hydration. The overall energy change is represented by the electrode potential $(E^\circ)$.Lithium has the highest hydration energy due to its very small size,which compensates for its high ionization energy.Therefore,lithium has the most negative standard electrode potential $(E^\circ = -3.04 \ V)$,making it the strongest reducing agent in aqueous solution.
