    Answer is: the oxidation number of oxygen must decrease.

    Oxidizing agent is element (substance) that gain electrons in chemical reaction.

    For example, balanced chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.

    Oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to oxidation number - 2 (reduction) and carbon change from 0 to + 4 (oxidation)
