the anwer is wrong because NAOH is a strong base which will reduce iron3 to iron2 which is green

Bases are not reducing or oxidising agents, double decomposition occurs in this reaction

The ans is D not C iron (III) gives reddish brown precipitate with NaOH by the way oxidation is always an increase in oxidation state so fe2+ can be oxidized to fe3+, while fe3+ can be reduced to fe2+. Myschool is correct.

Wrong it Can because fe3+ which is dark brown is oxidized to green which is fe2+
