In an activity series, a metal can only reduce the ions of metals below it. Since zinc is not listed, we cannot directly determine its position relative to the other metals mentioned. However, the question asks which of the given metals can reduce zinc ions to elemental zinc. For a metal to reduce zinc ions, it must be more reactive (higher in the activity series) than zinc. Without knowing the exact position of zinc, we cannot definitively say which metals can reduce zinc ions based on the given options. Therefore, without additional information about the relative reactivity of zinc compared to the listed metals, we cannot accurately answer this question.
