Solution

The correct option is C group IA
Reducing agent is the one that undergoes oxidation and oxidation means loss of electrons.
Group I elements have only one electron in their outer shell. As a result, fastest way for them to obtain a full outer shell is to simply lose an electron. Therefore, during a chemical reaction, these elements often act as "Reducing agents" and donate an electron to other reactants in order to obtain a full outer shell.
