Chromium is a metal in nature. So when one chromium is
bonded to another chromium, there is a weak intermolecular forces which helds
them together which we call as “metallic bonding”.
Metallic bonding is the intermolecular force of attraction which
exist between valence electrons and the metal atoms. It is considered as the
sharing of various detached electrons between many positive ions, whereby the
electrons serve as a "glue" which gives the substance a definite
structure.
When calcium joins with calcium its follows the following equation:
2Ca + O2 = 2CaO

Answer:
B) is reduced.
Explanation:
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced and it is oxidizing agent.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized and it is reducing gent.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
