Solution

The correct option is B False
A reducing agent or reductant is a substance which supplies hydrogen or any other electropositive element or removes oxygen or any other electronegative element. Alternatively, a reducing agent is that substance which itself undergoes oxidation in a chemical reaction.
For Eg,
CuO(s)+c(s)CO(g)+Cu(s)
Here carbon is reducing agent.
