Options
Zinc is lighter than iron
Zinc has lower melting point than iron
Zinc has lower negative electrode potential than iron
Zinc has higher negative electrode potential than iron

Solution
Zinc can be coated on iron to produce galvanized iron but the reverse is not possible. It is because Zinc has higher negative electrode potential than iron.
Explanation:
`"E"_("Zn"^(2+)|"Zn")^0` = – 0.76 V and `"E"_("Fe"^(2+)|"Fe")^0` = 0.44 V
Zinc has higher negative electrode potential than iron, iron cannot be coated on zinc.
