BCo (Z = 27)
Step-by-step explanation
Species having the highest reduction potential i.e., tendency to undergo reduction by gain of electron. SRP value increases from left to right in the period for the d-block elements.
Highest reduction potential means strong oxidising agent, i.e. undergoing reduction .
Highest reduction potential means strong oxidising agent, i.e. undergoing reduction .
