(A) Reducing strength is inversely proportional to the standard reduction potential $(E^{\ominus})$.
Lower (more negative) $E^{\ominus}$ values indicate stronger reducing agents.
The given $E^{\ominus}$ values are:
$Li^{+}/Li = -3.04 \ V$
$Na^{+}/Na = -2.71 \ V$
$I_{2}/I^{-} = +0.53 \ V$
$Ag^{+}/Ag = +0.79 \ V$
$Cl_{2}/Cl^{-} = +1.36 \ V$
Arranging these in decreasing order of reducing strength (from most negative $E^{\ominus}$ to most positive $E^{\ominus}$):
$Li > Na > I^{-} > Ag > Cl^{-}$
