Solution
Among the hydrogen halides, the strongest reducing agent is HI.
Explanation:
The reducing character of hydrogen halides increases from HF to HI. This is because the H-I bond is the weakest among them and breaks easily, allowing HI to donate hydrogen atoms readily. Therefore, HI is the strongest reducing agent among all hydrogen halides.
