(i) Zinc is undergoing oxidation in the above reaction so statement one is wrong(ii) Chlorine does not have any change in oxidation number since in HCl and ZnCl2 the ON is -1(iii) Hydrogen has reduced itself from +1 to 0, thus acting as an oxidising agent, i.e. oxidant(iv) Zinc underwent oxidation from ON of 0 to +2, implying it being a reducing agent i.e. reductant.
