Respuesta :
Answer: A. They show the oxidation and reduction halves of a reaction.
Explanation:
Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.
For a redox reaction: [tex]A+B^+\rightarrow A^++B[/tex]
Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.
oxidation half at anode : [tex]A\rightarrow A^++e^-[/tex]
Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.
reduction half at cathode: [tex]B^++e^-\rightarrow B[/tex]
