Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The increases in oxidation state of an atom, through a chemical reaction, is known as an oxidation, The oxidation number of Fe increases from zero to 8/3. Iron acts as a reducting agent , a decreases in oxidation state is known as a reduction. The oxidation number of hydrogen is decreases from + 1 to zero. Water acts as a oxidizing agent.
