Solution

The correct option is B $N a > M g > Z n > F e$
Reactivity series is a list of metals arranged in decreasing order of their reactivity or activity based on displacement reactions conducted experimentally. It follows the order:
$N a > C a > M g > A l > Z n > F e$
Thus, option $C$ is correct.
