The statement that best describes an oxidation-reduction reaction is:

a chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between reactants.

Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve the transfer of electrons, where one substance is oxidized (loses electrons) and another is reduced (gains electrons).
