    A)    

    B)        

    C)                          

    D)

    Solution :

    Magnesium is more reactive than zinc, so magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid while zinc remains as it is. Zinc is more reactive than lead, iron and silver so, zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to form\[\text{Z}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2+}}}\text{ions}\].
