Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a reduction reaction, there is a gain of electrons, resulting in an increase in the negative charge or a decrease in the oxidation state. This reaction involves the transfer of electrons from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent. In the given reaction, the molecule is gaining hydrogen atoms, which is a clear indication of a reduction reaction. Hence, the correct answer is option A.
