Zno has lost oxygen so it has reduced. and co is oxidised.
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.

Answer:
ZnO is being reduced and Co2 oxidized
Explanation:
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.
ZnO + CO → Zn + CO 2
+2 0
So, ZnO is being reduced.
