Brief Explanation

The correct answer is  A) Redox reaction.

Arrow

A redox reaction is a chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between two reactants participating in it.

Redox Reaction

The complete ionic reaction can be written as,

Fe + Cu + SO

Ferrous ion + Copper + Sulfate ion

The net ionic reaction can be written as,

Iron + Cupric ion

Ferrous ion + Copper

Fe + Cu

Iron is oxidised and copper is reduced.

Hence, this is a Redox reaction.

Iron

Ferrous ion + 2 Electrons

Copper

Cupric ion + 2 Electrons
