heres a handy rhyme:
OIL RIG
Oxidation Is Loss of electrons (donates)
Reduction Is Gain of electrons (accepts/receives) 
In this instance, we are looking for the substance that gets oxidized. The Reducing agent CAUSES reduction, but it itself get oxidized. therefore youre looking at c, the reducing agent
