Solution
The correct option is EFe+Cu2+⇌Fe2++Cu An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.
Fe+Cu2+⇌Fe2++Cu
In the above reaction, Fe is oxidised by gaining 2 electrons while Cu is reduced by loosing 2 electrons.
Hence the above reaction is represents an oxidation-reduction reaction.
