Electrochemistry doubt 1

Ques1) Standard electrode potentials are
Fe 2+ / Fe ( E° = -0.44 V)
Fe 3+ / Fe2+ (E° = 0.77 V)
If Fe 2+, Fe 3+ and Fe blocks are kept together , then
(a) Fe3+ increases (b) Fe3+ decreases
(c) Fe2+ / Fe3+ remains unchanged (d) Fe2+ decreases

Conversion of Fe2+ to Fe is non-spontaneous while converting Fe3+ to Fe2+ is spontaneous.

So Fe3+ will be spontaneously converted to Fe2+. So, Fe3+ will decrease
