(C) When E cell is positive, K is less than 1 but greater than O (D) When Ecel is positive, K is less than o. Solution 1) Oxidation is the removal of electrons or increase in oxidation number and reduction is, decrease in oxidation number or addition of electrons. Oxidizing agent oxidizes other chemical species and gets reduced. Reducing agent reduces other chemical species and gets oxidized. In the reaction, Zn loses electrons and gets oxidized and is a reducing agent. Ni gains electrons and gets reduced and is a reducing agent. Thus the answer is D, Zn is reducing agent because it loses electrons .

Solution
1) Oxidation is the removal of electrons or increase in oxidation number and reduction is,
decrease in oxidation number or addition of electrons. Oxidizing agent oxidizes other chemical
species and gets reduced. Reducing agent reduces other chemical species and gets oxidized. In
the reaction, Zn loses electrons and gets oxidized and is a reducing agent. Ni gains electrons and
gets reduced and is a reducing agent. Thus the answer is D, Zn is reducing agent because it loses
electrons
