Solution
The correct option is C Redox Reactions In redox processes also known as reduction - oxidation process, the reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant. Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced.
