{'metals': [1, 2, 2, 7], 'electron': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'correct order': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'zn': [0, 0, 1, 5], 'ag': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'cu': [0, 0, 2, 5], 'tendency': [0, 1, 1, 1]}

The correct answer to the question is option 1: Zn > Cu > Ag.

In this order, Zn (Zinc) has the highest electron releasing tendency among the given metals. This means that Zn has a higher tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions compared to Cu (Copper) and Ag (Silver).

On the other hand, Ag (Silver) has the lowest electron releasing tendency among the three metals. This means that Ag has a lower tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions compared to Zn and Cu.

Cu (Copper) falls in between Zn and Ag in terms of electron releasing tendency. It has a higher tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions compared to Ag, but a lower tendency compared to Zn.

Therefore, the correct order of electron releasing tendency of the given metals is Zn > Cu > Ag.
