As we have learnt, 

Reduction potential denotes the tendency of any species to get reduced and thus act as an Oxidising agent

The reduction potential \mathrm{E^{0}_{M^{3+}| M^{2+}}} of the given ions are given below

\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{Mn^{3+}}: & +1.57 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}: & +0.77 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{Ti}^{3+}: & -0.37 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}: & -0.41 \mathrm{~V} \end{array}

Thus, \mathrm{Mn^{3+}} has the greatest reduction potential and is the strongest oxidising agent.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1)
