Chemistry Question on Electrochemistry

Given:
EK+/K=2.93V,E\degree_{K^+/K}=-2.93V,
EAg+/Ag=0.80V,E\degree_{Ag^+/Ag}=0.80V,
EHg2+/Hg=0.79V,E\degree_{Hg^{2+}/Hg}=0.79V,
EMg2+/Mg=2.37V,E\degree_{Mg^{2+}/Mg}=-2.37V,
ECr3+/Cr=0.74V,E\degree_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.74V,
Choose the correct order :
(A) Ag <Hg< Cr <Mg <K (increasing reducing power)
(B) Ag <Hg< Cr <Mg <K (decreasing oxidising power)
(C) Ag > Hg > Cr > Mg > K (decreasing oxidising power)
(D) Hg > Cr > Ag > K > Mg (increasing reactivity)
(E) K > Mg > Cr > Hg > Ag (decreasing reactivity order)
