Reactivity of Fe is more than copper.

Fe lies above cu in metal activity series so it simply displaces cuso4.

It's simple displacement reaction.
cuso4+fe ->feso4+cu.
cuso4+fe ->feso4+cu.

Why Fe has more reduction power then Cu ?
Fe _ [Ar]18 3d6 4s2 & Cu_ [Ar]18 3d10 4s1.
So the reduction power of Fe is more then cu, as reduction power is nothing but ability to gain electron.

Fe, it because of electrochemical series.

@Dolly,
Sodium is not used for recovering of cu because cu present in aqueous solution, if sodium is as cathode then it react with water to form sodium hydroxide, hydrogen instead to act as cathode.

Reduction potential of Fe is higher than that of Cu.

In the electrochemical series, Na is higher than Fe.
Na is should be the answer.
Na is should be the answer.

I think sodium is the right answer, as it is above iron in periodic which has greater ability to react with sulphate to displace copper.

But Fe is nonmetal, right?
