Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is .
Explanation:
A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.
In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in is +2 and
has 0 oxidation state.
In oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in
oxidation state of I is -1.
Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.
Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is .
