At $25^\circ C$,$1 \, atm$ of gas $X$ is bubbled through a solution containing $1 \, M$ $Y^-$ and $1 \, M$ $Z^-$. If the reduction potential order is $Z > Y > X$,then:

  • A
    $Y^-$ oxidizes $X$ but does not oxidize $Z^-$
  • B
    $Y^-$ oxidizes $Z^-$ but does not oxidize $X$
  • C
    $Y^-$ oxidizes both $X$ and $Z^-$
  • D
    $Y^-$ reduces both $X$ and $Z^-$
