Identify the reducing agent in the following chemical equations:
$4Ag(s) + 8CN^{-}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(aq) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 4[Ag(CN)_{2}]^{-}(aq) + 4OH^{-}(aq)$
$2[Ag(CN)_{2}]^{-}(aq) + Zn(s) \rightarrow [Zn(CN)_{4}]^{2-}(aq) + 2Ag(s)$
$4Ag(s) + 8CN^{-}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(aq) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 4[Ag(CN)_{2}]^{-}(aq) + 4OH^{-}(aq)$
$2[Ag(CN)_{2}]^{-}(aq) + Zn(s) \rightarrow [Zn(CN)_{4}]^{2-}(aq) + 2Ag(s)$
- A$Zn$
- B$O_{2}$
- C$H_{2}O$
