What is true of an element that is oxidized? It increased in electronegativity.

It decreased in electronegativity.

It gained electrons.

It lost electrons.

When an element is oxidized, it loses electrons

The last option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element is oxidized, it loses electrons. But when an element is reduced, it gains electrons. This is the basis of redox reactions.

However, an oxidizing agent oxidizes something else, and gets reduced, therefore gaining electrons. Meanwhile, a reducing agent reduces something else, and gets oxidized in the process, losing its own electrons.

the correct answer would be d. hope this !
