When an element is oxidized, the statement that is true is:
**It loses electrons to another element.**
Oxidation refers to the process where an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons, which often increases its oxidation state. This can occur when it reacts with another element that gains those electrons, typically during redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions.
