Solution

(a) The statement is correct. In the reaction, lead (Pb) in PbO is reduced from a +2 oxidation state to 0 in Pb.

(b) The statement is incorrect. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a product of the reaction, not a reactant. It does not get oxidised or reduced in this reaction.

(c) The statement is correct. Carbon (C) is oxidised from an oxidation state of 0 in C to +4 in CO2.

(d) The statement is correct. Lead oxide (PbO) is reduced to lead (Pb) in the reaction.
