Explanation:

An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent, or reductant, loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction. ... A reducing agent is typically in one of its lower possible oxidation states, and is known as the electron donor.

Answer:

In redox processes, the reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant. Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced.
