(A) The reducing power of a species is inversely proportional to its standard reduction potential $(E^\circ_{red})$.Lower the standard reduction potential,higher is the tendency to lose electrons and act as a strong reducing agent.Given values:$E^\circ(Al^{3+}/Al) = -1.66 \ V$$E^\circ(Fe^{2+}/Fe) = -0.45 \ V$$E^\circ(Br_2/Br^-) = 1.09 \ V$Comparing the values: $-1.66 \ V Therefore,the order of reducing power is $Al > Fe > Br^-$.
