Which statement is true? In a reaction, oxidation can occur independently of reduction. The oxidizing agent oxidizes another substance (and is itself reduced). A redox reaction involves either the transfer of an electron or a change in the oxidation state of an element. If any of the reactants or products in a reaction contain oxygen, the reaction is a redox reaction.

Which statement is true? A. In a reaction, oxidation can occur independently of reduction. B. A redox reaction involves either the transfer of an electron or a change in the oxidation state of an element. C. In a redox reaction, any increase in the oxidation state of a reactant must be accompanied by a decrease in the oxidation state of a reactant. D. If any of the reactants or products in a reaction contain oxygen, the reaction is a redox reaction.
