In an oxidation–reduction reaction, what happens to the electrons in the oxidation process? a. electrons are bonded. b. electrons are gained. c. electrons are lost. d. electrons are replaced.

C. Electrons are lost.

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reaction is between oxidizing agent and reducing agent.The oxidizing agent gains electrons and reduction process occurs to it, while the reducing agent losses electrons and oxidation process occurs to it.oxidizing agent + ne → product "reduction process, gain electrons"reducing agent → product + ne "oxidation process, loss electrons"Thus, The right answer is: in the oxidation process, electrons are lost.
