C
protons
D
electrons
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that redox reactions are chemical processes involving the transfer of particles between species.
Recall that 'redox' stands for reduction-oxidation, where reduction means gain and oxidation means loss.
Identify what is gained or lost in these processes: in redox reactions, electrons are transferred.
Recognize that photons are particles of light, neutrons are neutral particles in the nucleus, and protons are positively charged particles in the nucleus, none of which are transferred in redox reactions.
Conclude that the correct answer is electrons, as redox reactions involve the gain or loss of electrons.
