C
Loss of electron
D
Gain of protons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reduction is the gain of electrons, loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen. These examples show how to explain oxidation and reduction. Often you can explain it in terms of change in oxygen content or hydrogen content but sometimes an explanation in terms of electrons is required.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reduction is a process where a substance: Gains one or more electrons. Loses an oxygen atom or Electronegative atoms. Gains a hydrogen atom or Electropositive atoms.
