✓ Answer: D Zinc
In the activity series, Zinc (Zn) is more reactive than Iron (Fe). Therefore, Zinc can displace Iron from Iron Chloride in a displacement reaction. This reaction can be represented as: Zn(s) + FeCl2(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + Fe(s). The order of reactivity is known as the reactivity series, in which reactivity decreases from top to bottom: K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > C > Zn > Fe > Sn > Pb > H > Cu > Ag > Au > Pt.
