Answer:

electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

You might mean an "oxidation-reduction" reaction, also known as a redox reaction, in which electrons are transferred between chemicals (i.e. the oxidation number changes).

An "oxygen-reduction" reaction is a very specific reaction where oxygen gas is reduced to water or hydrogen peroxide.
