Adolfo Norman · Answer 1

Redox reactions involve an oxidation reaction coupled with a reduction reaction.

Explanation:

A redox reaction is called like that because it involves a substance that is reducing and a substance that is oxidating, so it is Re-dox, this means that all of the chemicals reactions that involve a substance that looses an electron, are redox reactions, they are present in almost all of chemistry, from syntetic to biological chemistry, so the only correct option would be:

Redox reactions involve an oxidation reaction coupled with a reduction reaction.

Nielsen · Answer 2

Answer: An oxidation reaction is defined as the when in a reaction the oxidation number of a species involved increased, and reduction reaction is reversed, it when the oxidation number of a species is decreased. And a redox reaction is in which both of oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneosly. Because chemical reaction follows the law of conservation of mass.
