Solution

The correct option is C

No reaction takes place


Explanation:

  • Arrangement of the metals on the basis of their reactivity towards other elements is termed as activity series. Elements at the top of this series are comparatively more reactive than elements below in the series.
  • In a single displacement reaction, a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound to form two product species. Elements present above in the activity series can displace the element present below it in the series.
  • Since Iron Fe is present above CopperCu in the activity series thus, CopperCu cannot displace Iron from Iron sulfate FeSO4 and hence, no reaction takes place.

Final Answer:

Hence, the correct option is C.
