Answer Details
When a metal M displaces zinc from zinc chloride solution, it means that M is more reactive than zinc. This is because a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The process involves the transfer of electrons, with the more reactive metal (M) losing electrons to the less reactive metal (Zinc). Therefore, the correct answer is that M is more electropositive than zinc.
