Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Ag

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The order of reactivity of given elements is \(\mathrm{Ag} < \mathrm{H} < \mathrm{Zn} < \mathrm{Sn} < \mathrm{Mg}\) As, Ag is less reactive than hydrogen, it cannot replace hydrogen from \(\mathrm{HCl}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) gas is not liberated.
