Solution

The correct option is C ZnO is being reduced
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.
ZnO + CO $\to$ Zn + CO $_{2}$
+2 0
So, ZnO is being reduced.
