Iron(Fe) is more reactive than Copper(Cu). So Iron displaces Copper from Copper sulfate(CuSO4) to form Iron sulfate(FeSO4).

I Think Fe (Ferrum) will work best because it is not very reactive and yet it can displace copper from its sulphate. Sodium (NA or Natrium) can as well be used.

Cu is biggest molecule.

As the fe and cu both lying in the same group. And although the electronegativity of fe is higher than cu.

FE is high reactive than cu.

Then Na also should have reduced Cu because it lies way ahead of Cu in the electrochemical series, just like Fe.

May I know its mechanism.

How please explain this question?

I agree with @Tushar, @Preeti and @Lenhkp.
Its just because Fe is more reactive than Cu and so would displace the Cu in the reaction.

Because iron is higher in the activity series than copper and we know that a metal higher in the activity series displaces the lower ones solution. Hence:-
CuSO4 + Fe--------------------------------->FeSO4 + Cu.
CuSO4 + Fe--------------------------------->FeSO4 + Cu.
