b)  reduction
c) a & b both

b

Explanation:Removal of hydrogen is called reduction. In this reaction hydrogen is removed from ammonia, so reduction is involved in this reaction.


Fe2+ ……to Fe3+.
a) reduces                                             

b)  oxidizes
c) a & b both                                       

d) none of these

b

Explanation:Electrons are lost in oxidation so above reaction involves oxidation.
