Consider the following reduction processes :

$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Al}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{~s}), \mathrm{E}^0=-1.66 \mathrm{~V} \\ & \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}, \mathrm{E}^0=+0.77 \mathrm{~V} \\ & \mathrm{Co}^{3+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Co}^{2+}, \mathrm{E}^0=+1.81 \mathrm{~V} \\ & \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{~s}), \mathrm{E}^0=-0.74 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned} $$

The tendency to act as reducing agent decreases in the order :

A

$\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}>\mathrm{Cr}>\mathrm{Co}^{2+}$

B

$\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Cr}>\mathrm{Co}^{2+}>\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$

C

$\mathrm{Cr}>\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}>\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Co}^{2+}$

D

$\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Cr}>\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}>\mathrm{Co}^{2+}$
