The redox reaction is:

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Reason: C in glucose (average oxidation state 0) is oxidized to +4 in CO2, and O in O2 (0) is reduced to -2 in CO2 and H2O. The other three reactions involve no change in oxidation states (acid–base or decomposition), so they are not oxidation–reduction.
