Answer;
             Silver is acting as oxidizing Agent.

Explanation:

The reaction is as follow,

<span>                              Fe + 3 AgNo</span>₃    →     Fe(NO₃)₃<span> + 3 Ag

In above reaction the Iron's oxidation state has changed from 0 to +3, i.e. 

                             Fe</span>⁰      →     Fe³⁺  +  3 e⁻

It shows that Iron has lost 3 electrons, Hence, it is oxidized and has transferred 3 electrons to 3 mole of Ag⁺ to reduce it into Ag. Therefore, Iron is acting as reducing Agent.

While, In reaction the Silver's oxidation state has changed from +1 to 0, i.e. 

                             3 Ag⁺  +  3 e⁻     →     3 Ag

It shows that Silver has gained one electron, Hence, it is reduced and has gained 3 electrons from 1 mole of Fe to oxidize it into Fe³⁺. Therefore, Silver is acting as oxidizing Agent.
