Again referring to data and explanation of Q. 8, if the standard potential of an element is negative value, then H₂ gas is more stable than the reduced form of the element, which means these elements can reduce hydrogen ions H⁺ ions. The more negative the value, the more its reducing power. So the order of reducing values in decreasing order is Cr > Cr³⁺ > Cl^- > Mn²⁺. The correct option is (ii).
