Answer:
(a) Oxidation: A chemical reaction in which a substance gains oxygen is called oxidation. ... (b) Reduction: A chemical reaction in which a substance loses oxygen is called reduction. ZnO + C → Zn + CO, ZnO is reduced to Zn. CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O, CuO is reduced to Cu.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Oxidation Reaction: It is a chemical reaction in which gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen takes place. For example in the first reaction copper is oxidised to become copper oxide and in second Magnesium is oxidised to become Magnesium Oxide.
Reduction Reaction: It is a chemical reaction in which loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen takes place. For example in the first reaction copper oxide is reduced to become copper and in second Zinc Oxide is reduced to become Zinc.
