Answer:
Redox is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Redox reactions are characterized by the actual or formal transfer of electrons between chemical species, most often with one species undergoing oxidation while another species undergoes reduction.
CuO+H2-Cu+H2O follows the above rules, hence it is a redox reaction

Answer:
Cu loses Oxygen (O) which is a reduction reaction and Hydrogen gains oxygen which is a oxidation reaction.Since both reduction and oxidation takes place simultaneously in this reaction it is called redox reaction.
