Solution
Among the hydrides of group 15 elements, the strongest reducing agent is BiH3.
Explanation:
In group 15, reducing character increases down the group due to decreasing bond strength of the E-H bond (E = N, P, As, Sb, Bi). Since the Bi-H bond is the weakest, BiH3 is the strongest reducing agent among group 15 hydrides.
