Which of the following reactions is an example of a redox reaction?

Which of the following reactions is an example of a redox reaction?

Options

A ${XeF}_{2} + {PF}_{5} \to {\left[XeF\right]}^{+}{PF}_{6}^{-}$
B ${XeF}_{6} + {H}_{2}O \to {XeOF}_{4} + 2HF$
C ${XeF}_{6} + 2{H}_{2}O \to {XeO}_{2}{F}_{2} + 4HF$
D ${XeF}_{4} + {O}_{2}{F}_{2} \to {XeF}_{6} + {O}_{2}$

Correct answer

D. ${XeF}_{4} + {O}_{2}{F}_{2} \to {XeF}_{6} + {O}_{2}$

Step-by-step solution
