Using the data given below to find out the strongest reducing agent.

E^{\circleddash }_{Cr_{2}O{_{7}}^{2-}/Cr^{3+}}=1.33 \; V

E^{\circleddash }_{Cl_{2}/Cl^{-}}=1.36 \; V

E^{\circleddash }_{MnO{_{4}}^{-}/Mn^{2+}}=1.51 \; V

E^{\circleddash }_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.74\; V

(i)\; Cl^{-}

(ii)\; Cr

(iii)\; Cr^{3+}

(iv)\; Mn^{+2}
