Solution

The correct option is A $C u O$ is being reduced and hydrogen is being oxidised
A substance is said to be oxidised if it either loses hydrogen or gains oxygen. A substance is said to be reduced if it either loses oxygen or gains hydrogen. In the given reaction, the copper (II) oxide is losing oxygen and is being reduced. The hydrogen is gaining oxygen and is being oxidized.
