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 $A^{n+}$.

  • A
    $C > A > B > D$
  • B
    $C > A > D > B$
  • C
    $A > C > D > B$
  • D
    $A > C > B > D$
