In the equation above, copper is
an electron acceptor
a base
an oxidizing agent
a reducing agent
Correct answer is D
A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction. Since the reducing agent is losing electrons, it is said to have been oxidized. In the reaction, Copper is oxidized.
