Read the following chemical equations

reaction 1: 2KI + H2O2 -> 2KOH +I2

reaction 2: Cl2 + H2 -> 2HCl.

which of the following statements is true for both the chemical equations?

a) I is oxidized in reaction 1 and Cl2 is oxidized in reaction 2

b) I is reduced in reaction 1 and Cl2 is reduced in reaction 2

c) I is oxidized in reaction 1 and Cl2 is reduced in reaction 2

d) I is reduced in reaction 1 and Cl2 is oxidized in reaction 2

(a is wrong, i took the test)
