Step 1: Identify the strong oxidising agent

A strong oxidising agent readily gains electrons (gets reduced). Among the given ions:

| Ion | Config | Tendency |
|-----|--------|----------|
|  |  | Reducing agent (wants to lose e⁻) |
|  |  | Reducing agent |
|  | | Strong oxidising agent (wants to gain e⁻ → , ) |
|  |  | Reducing agent |

is a strong oxidising agent in aqueous solution — it readily oxidises water.

Step 2: Magnetic moment of
