ANSWER:
REDUCING AGENT:-
THE SUBSTANCE WHICH GETS OXIDIZED IS THE REDUCING AGENT.
OXIDIZING AGENT:-
THE SUBSTANCE WHICH GETS REDUCED IS THE OXIDIZING AGENT.
EX:-
Zno + C -------->Zn+CO.
IN THIS REACTION, ZINC OXIDE (ZnO) IS LOSING OXYGEN, SO IT IS BEING REDUCED TO ZINC(Zn). ON THE OTHER HAND CARBON (C) IS GAINING OXYGEN, SO IT IS BEING OXIDIZED TO CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) .IN THIS REACTION, ZINC IS THE OXIDIZING AGENT WHEREAS CARBON IS THE REDUCING AGENT.
