Answer:

HNO3 is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Step 1:

The oxidizing agent is responsible to oxidize another.  but  itself undergoes  a reduction  .

Fe2S3:

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

S has an oxidation number of -2

HNO3:

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

H has an oxidation number of +1

N has an oxidation number of +5

Fe(NO3)3

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

Since NO3 has an oxidation number of -1; N has an oxidation number of +5

S alone has an oxidation number of 0

NO2:

O has an oxidation number of -2 (we have 2 times O, this makes -4)

N has an oxidation number of +4

Fe doesn't change from oxidation number. It stays +3

N goes from +5 to +4 → this is a reduction

S goes from -2 to 0 → this is an oxidation

The reducing agent is the compound that contributes the oxidized species (S).

The oxidizing agent contributes the reducing species (N)

The answer is HNO3
