Heyy,
why is D oxidation?
Hi!
here oxidation means loss of electrons from the double bond, which can be donated to halogens.
This means CH2BrCH2Br is produced if ethene reacts with bromine.
Hope this helps!

or it can even be considered cuz addition of oxygen or any electronegative element is oxidation, and bromine is electronegative.

Hi!
Oxidation is also considered in terms of addition of oxygen or loss of hydrogen from a particular molecule.
