Answer:

B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.

Explanation:

Reduction is the <em>gain of electrons</em>.

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom <em>appears</em> to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.

Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.

If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is <em>oxidation</em>.

Explanation:

From the question it can be infered that initially only parent atoms were present in the rock and  no daughter atom. So, initially there was only uranium atom and no lead atom. So, in total there were 500+1500= 2000 uranium atom. And no lead tom was there.
