option (iv) is the correct answer.
Redox reaction is defined as the simultaneous oxidation and reduction of reacting species. Thus, change in oxidation state will decide whether a reaction is redox or not. Thus, assigning the oxidation states as:
(i) CuO + H2→ Cu + H2O
Here, oxidation of H and reduction of Cu is taking place.
(ii) Fe2O3 + 3CO→ 2Fe + 3CO2
Here, oxidation of C and reduction of Fe is taking place.
(iii) 2K + F2→2KF
Here, the oxidation of K and reduction of F is taking place.
(iv) BaCl2
