Answer»

Correct option is (B) OXIDATION

To explain I would say: ADDITION of electronegative element or removal of any other electropositive element is also considered as a process that INVOLVES oxidation. Here, sulphur is an electronegative element. So the formation of zinc sulphide is an Oxidation reaction.
