(I) half reaction can be immediately eliminated, as Iron is increasing its oxidation number. (II) is a reduction because Chromium is decreasing its oxidation number from (6+) to (3+). (III) is also a reduction because Magnese is decreasing its oxidation number from (7+ ) to (2+ ) . Correct choice is (b).
