Solution

The solution is as follows:

Reducing agent is the one that loses hydrogen or gains oxygen or both in a reaction.

1. Ammonia loses H and form NO. Thus it is reducing agent.

2. F2 gains oxygen so it is reducing agent.

3. CO gains oxygen and forms CO2, so it is reducing agent.

4. H2 gains oxygen so it is reducing agent.
