Answer 2

Answer:

a

Explanation:

As the statement proves that Copper when reacts with Oxygen, It forms Copper oxide.

It can be written as

$Cu+O _{2} → \: CuO$

Here, Copper is being oxidised so it is the reducing agent.

And, hence, Oxygen being reduced is the oxidising agent.

So, the first option is correct as it satisfies the assertion and it's reason.

Hope you get this!!
