Oxidized.
The answer is not c.
In this reaction, zinc (Zn) is oxidized to form zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) while copper (Cu2+) in copper sulfate (CuSO4) is reduced to copper (Cu). The zinc loses electrons (oxidized) to form zinc sulfate, while the copper gains electrons (reduced) to form solid copper.
In an electrolytic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction at the cathode. For the given metals, aluminum (Al) is oxidized, losing electrons, while silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) are reduced, gaining electrons. Thus, in the context of an electrolytic cell, Al and Li are oxidized, whereas Au, Zn, and Fe can be reduced depending on the specific half-reactions involved.

In the reaction Zn + CuCl2 → ZnCl2 + Cu, CuCl2 is the oxidizing agent because it accepts electrons from Zn, causing zinc to be oxidized and copper to be reduced.CuCl2 itself gets reduced to Cu.
It can be, but it can also be other types of reaction. An example of an oxidation reaction that is also a single replacement would be Zn(s) + 2HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2. In this reaction Zn is oxidized and H is reduced.
The reduction potential of Na is -2.71 V and the reduction potential of Zn is -0.76 V. When Na is reduced, it gains electrons, so its reduction potential is written as a positive value (+2.71 V). When Zn is oxidized, it loses electrons, so its oxidation potential is -0.76 V. Therefore, the total reduction potential of the cell is +2.71 V - (-0.76 V) = +3.47 V.
Yes, the reaction between Zn and CuCl2 to form ZnCl2 and Cu is a redox reaction. Zinc (Zn) is oxidized to form Zn2+ ions, while copper (Cu2+) is reduced to elemental copper (Cu).
Zinc (Zn) can be oxidized more easily compared to copper (Cu) because zinc has a lower standard reduction potential. This means that zinc is more likely to lose electrons and be oxidized in a redox reaction.
yes
The iron is oxidized and the silver is reduced.
Water is oxidized in the process of photosynthesis.
