ANSWER

Ag+ is the oxidizing agent

Ag+ is reduced to Ag

Zn is oxidized to zn^2+

Zn is the reducing agent

option ABCD

Explanation:

Given information


2Ag^+_((aq))+Zn_{(s)\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ }}Zn^(2+)_((s))+2Ag_((s))

From the above redox reaction, you will see that there is a change in the oxidation number of zinc and silver.

Zn goes from 0 to 2+ in its oxidation state

Hence, zinc has been oxidized, therefore, it is a reducing agent

Ag goes from +1 to 0 in its oxidation state

Hence, Ag has been reduced, therefore, it is an oxidizing agent
