Which of the following statements is true for the following reaction, assuming the given reaction proceeds in the forward direction? 3 Sn$^{4+}$(aq) + 2 Cr(s) $\rightarrow$ 3 Sn$^{2+}$(aq) + 2 Cr$^{3+}$(aq) Cr(s) is the reducing agent and Cr$^{3+}$(aq) is the oxidizing agent. Sn$^{4+}$(aq) is the reducing agent and Sn$^{2+}$(aq) is the oxidizing agent. Cr(s) is the reducing agent and Sn$^{2+}$(aq) is the oxidizing agent. Sn$^{4+}$(aq) is the reducing agent and Cr(s) is the oxidizing agent. Cr(s) is the reducing agent and Sn$^{4+}$(aq) is the oxidizing agent.
