The correct options are
A

Mg(s)Mg2++2e


C

The reaction in which loss of electron takes place is called oxidation reaction. The reaction in which the gain of electron takes place is called a reduction reaction. The reaction in which oxidation and reduction both take place simultaneously is called redox reaction. The reactions which are showing an oxidation reaction are:

Mg(s)Mg2++2e
