Following order is observed in oxidising power of certain ions:
VO2+ < Cr2O72– < MnO4
The reason for this increasing order of oxidising power is
  1. Increasing stability of the lower species to which they are reduced.
  2. Increasing stability of the higher species to which they are oxidised.
  3. Increasing stability of the higher species to which they are reduced.
  4. Increasing stability of the lower species to which they are oxidised.

Answer

(A) Increasing stability of the lower species to which they are reduced.
