Answer: S-block elements

Explanation: Elements of S-block are prepared through the electrolysis process not by the reduction of their compounds with the other group elements of their compounds. For example in Carbon dioxide carbon is non reducing because oxidation state of `C "in" CO_(2)` is `+4`, which is maximum So it does not undergo oxidation, and hence, it is not a reducing agent.
