$A$ gas $X$ at $1 \, atm$ is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of $1 \, M \, Y^{-}$ and $1 \, M \, Z^{-}$ at $25 \, ^oC$. If the reduction potential of $Z > Y > X$,then

  • A
    $Y$ will oxidize $X$ and not $Z$
  • B
    $Y$ will oxidize $Z$ and not $X$
  • C
    $Y$ will oxidize both $X$ and $Z$
  • D
    $Y$ will reduce both $X$ and $Z$
