The correct option is A.

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which there is a transfer of electrons among the chemical species involved. In this type of reaction, reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously. In a redox reaction, when a substance is reduced, its charge gets more negative. In redox reaction, a substance is said to be reduced when it gains electrons or decrease its oxidation state.
