Which statement is correct in reference to the Frost diagrams?
A) The maximum point on the diagram gives the most stable species with respect to the oxidation state zero which is set as a minimum point on the diagram.
B) The minimum point on the diagram represents the most stable species with respect to the oxidation state zero which is set at 0 on the diagram.
C) The maximum point on the diagram has the highest stability, and the lowest point, set at 0, corresponds to the least stable species.

The minimum point on a Frost diagram represents the most stable species with respect to the oxidation state zero, which is set at 0 on the diagram. This is because the vertical axis of a Frost diagram represents the standard electrode potential, and the species with the lowest potential (minimum point) is the most stable relative to the oxidation state zero.
