CuSo4+Fe == Feso4 + cu it's an displacement reaction.

The electrochemical series shows that Cu is having high reduction potential than Fe. So that there occurs a displacement reaction when Fe is exposed to a solution containing Cu.

This will make Fe to replace Cu.

If Fe more reactive than Cu. That's why this reaction take place.

Then why not Na? Please explain me.

Iron is more reactive than copper but I think Na is better to displace cu from CuSO4.

Good, I like this. Thanks all for explaining.

Na reacts violently with water, and the kinetics with which the reaction proceeds will be hard to control. So the most practical answer would be Fe.
