When the aluminium foil was taken out of the zinc sulphate solution after 15 minutes, its surface was found to be coated with a silvery grey deposit. From the above observation, it can be concluded that:(a) Aluminium is more reactive than zinc(b) Zinc is more reactive than aluminium(c) Zinc and aluminium both are equally reactive(d) Zinc and aluminium both are non-reactive
