Answer:

A) Na

Explanation:

We analyze the change of electrons in the equation.

So:

S (0) --> S (-2)

The oxidizing agent is the one that gains electrons. Sulfur goes from 0 to -2 then it is gaining electrons.

Na (0) --> Na (+1)

The reducing agent is the one that loses electrons. Sodium goes from 0 to +1 which means that it loses electrons.

Therefore the reducing agent is Na.
