✓ Answer:
A
Is more reactive than B
If Metal A displaces Metal B from its solution, it indicates that Metal A is more reactive than Metal B. Reactive elements have a tendency to displace less reactive elements in chemical reactions. This reactivity arises from the ability of reactive metals to readily lose electrons, aiming to achieve a stable electronic configuration by reducing other elements and oxidising themselves. Reactive metals are typically positioned at the top of the reactivity series.
