(a)
Interpretation:
The strongest reducing agent among the ions in central column of the given table needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The oxidizing agents oxidize any reaction, but they get reduced during this process.
The reducing agents reduce the reaction but they themselves get oxidized.
In the given table of standard reduction potential, the nature of cations can be predicted to oxidizing or reducing on behalf of following observation.
For any cation:
The more positive the reduction potential, easier will be the self reduction and hence the oxidizing agent will be stronger.
The more negative (or least positive) the reduction potential, easier will be self oxidation as the oxidation potential value will be more positive, and hence the reducing agent will be stronger.

(c)
Interpretation:
The weakest reducing agent among the ions in central column of the given table needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The oxidizing agents oxidize any reaction, but they get reduced during this process.
The reducing agents reduce the reaction but they themselves get oxidized.
In the given table of standard reduction potential, the nature of cations can be predicted to oxidizing or reducing on behalf of following observation.
For any cation:
The more positive the reduction potential, easier will be the self reduction and hence the oxidizing agent will be stronger.
The more negative (or least positive) the reduction potential, easier will be self-oxidation as the oxidation potential value will be more positive, and hence the reducing agent will be stronger.
