What metal can be dissolved by hydrocholoric acid?

What metal can be dissolved by hydrocholoric acid?

Hi there, I am going through a practice test. Is there an easy, clear way to understand what metal can be dissolved by hydrocholoric acid?

My options are: Mg, Fe, Sn, Ag, Pt

I know the answer is Mg, Fe, Sn and understand they all are metals, but how do you figure what can dissolve?

Thank you! :)

You might want to think about the reactivity of the metals.
