Answer is: D. is oxidized.

Reducing agent is an element  or compound that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and they have been oxidized.

For example, chemical equation: Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂.

Oxidation reaction: Ca⁰ → Ca⁺² + 2e⁻ /×3.

3Ca⁰ → 3Ca⁺² + 6e⁻

Reduction reaction: 6e⁻ + 2H₃⁺¹ → 3H₂⁰.

Balanced chemical equation: 3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂.

Calcium is stronger reducing agent than hydrogen, gives electrons easier.

Calcium is oxidized, it changes oxidation number from 0 to +2.

A molecule of acetone and a molecule of propyl aldehyde are both made from 3 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom.
TEA [102]

Explanation:

The structures of both acetone and propanal are shown below:

In the formula of propanal there is -CHO functional group at the end.

In acetone -CO- group is present in the middle that is on the second carbon.

The molecular formula is C3H6O.

Both have same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
