I think B but i'm not for sure
A catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed by the reaction. The fact that they aren't changed by participating in a reaction distinguishes catalysts from substrates, which are the reactants on which catalysts work. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions.
Answer: Magnesium Mg
Explanation:
Oxidization is the process by which a substance either gains oxygen or losses electrons.
The chemical reaction of the above is denoted by,
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Mg went from a 0 to a +2 state which would mean that it lost electrons.
It was therefore oxidized.
