Which of the following reactions is an oxidation process?

  • A 2H\(^+\) + 2e\(^-\) \(\to\) H\(_2\)
  • B 2O\(^{2-}\) + 4e\(^-\) \(\to\) O\(_2\)
  • C OCl\(^-\) + H\(_2\)O + 2e\(^-\) \(\to\) 2OH\(^-\) + Cl\(^-\)
  • D Cl + e\(^-\) \(\to\) Cl\(^-\)

The correct answer is B. 2O\(^{2-}\) + 4e\(^-\) \(\to\) O\(_2\)
