Answer: Option C) Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Explanation:

Reduction is a process involving a gain of electron(s), while oxidation involves a loss of electron(s).

Thus, an oxidizing agent is a substance that accepts electron(s) and become reduced, while a reducing agent is a substance that donates electron(s) and so becomes oxidized.

Thus, reduction is the gain of electron(s)

These two beetles aren't closely related, but they look and behave similarly. This is because they live in the same environmental conditions and likely share a common ancestor that lived in Gondwana (the supercontinent that included the southern continents before they split apart through plate tectonics).

Australia has so many genetically distinct organisms because it has been separated from other bodies of land by water for a very long time. This has created an opportunity for long-term independence of other geographic areas.
