In a chemical reaction where substance A transfers electrons to substance B, the correct statement is:

Substance A is oxidized and acts as the reducing agent.

In this process, substance A loses electrons (is oxidized), while substance B gains those electrons (is reduced) and acts as the oxidizing agent.
