    H⁺ (aq)

    Explanation:

    Let's consider the following redox reaction.

    Sn (s) + 2 H⁺ (aq) → Sn²⁺ (aq) + H₂ (g)

    We can identify both half-reactions.

    Oxidation: Sn (s) → Sn²⁺ (aq) + 2 e⁻

    Reduction: 2 H⁺ (aq) + 2 e⁻ → H₂ (g)

    Sn (s) undergoes oxidation so it is the reducing agent, while H⁺ (aq) undergoes reduction so it is the oxidizing agent.
