D. Both the statements are true. — In redox reactions, statement I is correct because the loss of oxygen by a substance is a form of reduction, and statement II is also correct because the gain of hydrogen by a substance is another form of reduction. Both criteria—losing oxygen or gaining hydrogen—describe reduction in a chemical reaction.
