Answer:

2.Ag+

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem tests our knowledge/understanding of the electro-chemical series.

Electrochemical series or activity series is a list that describes the arrangement of elements in order of their increasing electrode potential values.

In the electro-chemical series metals placed above can displace metals below from their salt solutions.

In this question given the series as stated

1. Fe2+

2.Ag+

3.Zn2+

4.Al3+

In the series we have metals stated as Zn>Fe>Cu>Ag.

Cu will displace silver Ag+ because it is below it in the series
