Answer: Option C) Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Explanation:

Reduction is a process involving a gain of electron(s), while oxidation involves a loss of electron(s).

Thus, an oxidizing agent is a substance that accepts electron(s) and become reduced, while a reducing agent is a substance that donates electron(s) and so becomes oxidized.

Thus, reduction is the gain of electron(s)
