Answer:
Hydrogen. Because here, Hydrogen reduces oxygen from copper and gets oxidised itself.
Hydrogen is the reducing agent here and Oxygen is the oxidising agent here.

Answer:
The given reaction is
CuO(s) + H_2(g) -> Cu(s) + H2O(l)
In this reaction, copper (II) oxide reacts with hydrogen to generate copper metal and water. This is an oxidation-reduction reaction, in which some species are oxidized and some reduced.
The oxidation number of copper goes from +2 (in CuO)
