If oxidation states change, it is a redox reaction. Hence, option D is correct.
What are oxidation-reduction reactions?
Oxidation-reduction reactions are balanced by two half overall chemical equations into an oxidation equation and a reduction equation.
In redox reactions, the half-reactions of oxidation and reduction always occur simultaneously in pairs.
The oxidation half-reaction involved the loss of electrons from a reduced substance (A) to form an oxidized substance (A⁺):
A ⇒ A⁺ + e-
In contraposition, during the reduction half-reaction the oxidized substance (B⁺) gains electrons to form the reduced substance (B):
B⁺ + e- ⇒ B
The overall redox reaction is obtained by the addition of the two half-reactions:
A ⇒ A⁺ + e-
B⁺ + e- ⇒ B
A + B⁺⇒ A⁺ + B
The electrons gained by B are provided by A, which lost the same number of electrons. Thus, the oxidation/reduction reactions are paired.
