Solution
The correct option is A Hydrogenation of alkene and alkyne Hydrogenation is addition of Hydrogen to alkene and alkyne and therefore it is a reduction reaction.
Ozonolysis with O3/Zn is oxidative cleavage (addition of oxygen) and is an oxidation reaction.
Halogenation reaction of alkene increase the oxidation state of C in haloalkane. and thus is an oxidation reaction.
