Which of the statements about the reaction below are incorrect?

2Pb0 (s) + C (s) 2Pb (s) + CO2(g)

(a) Lead is getting reduced

(b) Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised

(c) Carbon is getting oxidised

(d) Lead oxide is getting reduced


The element losing Oxygen gets reduced and the element gaining Oxygen gets 'oxidised'. 


During this reaction, PbO is getting reduced as it is losing oxygen whereas carbon is getting oxidised, as it is gaining oxygen, to form carbon dioxide.
