1. transfer of electrons between two reactants
2. transfer of electrons between two products

4. exchange of halogens between two reactants

Correct answer: transfer of electrons between two reactants

Solution

Redox reactions involve simultaneous oxidation and reduction, which occur through transfer of electrons. This electron transfer changes oxidation states of the reactants.
