Select the correct statement that describes the redox reaction that takes place when the two half-equations below are combined.

Fe3+(aq) + e- ⇌ Fe2+(aq)                                                   E = +0.77 V

MnO4-(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e- ⇌ Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)         E = +1.51 V

electrons are transferred from Fe2+ to MnO4-

electrons are transferred from Fe3+ to MnO4-

electrons are transferred from MnO4- to Fe2+

electrons are transferred from MnO4- to Fe3+
