In a chemical reaction, reduction refers to the gain of electrons by a substance. Among the elements listed, oxygen is the most likely to be reduced. This is because oxygen typically gains electrons to form oxides, whereas hydrogen, magnesium, and sodium tend to lose electrons. Therefore, the correct response is:
**oxygen**
**oxygen**
