Which of the following reactions occurs at the anode of an electrochemical cell composed of Zn│Zn2+(aq) and Fe│Fe2+(aq) half-cells? Their reduction potentials are as follows:  

              Zn2+   +  2e   -->  Zn;    Eo = -0.763 V               

              Fe2+  +  2e   -->  Fe;      Eo = -0.447 V

    (A) Zn2+ + 2e -->  Cr;                

    (B) Zn -->  Zn2+ + 2e;               

    (C) Fe -->  Fe2+ + 2e;         

    (D) Fe2+ + 2e -->  Fe;
