A
loss
B
gain
C
sharing
D
transfer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The loss of electrons is called oxidation. The gain of electrons is called reduction. Because any loss of electrons by one substance must be accompanied by a gain in electrons by something else, oxidation and reduction always occur together.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, the statement is true. Oxidation is a process that involves the loss of electrons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxidation–reduction reactions, commonly known as redox reactions, are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. The species that loses electrons is said to be oxidized, while the species that gains electrons is said to be reduced.
