Consider the chemical equation for the reaction of copper metal with concentrated nitric acid:

Cu+4HNO3→Cu(NO3)2+2NO2+2H2O \text{Cu} + 4\text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Cu(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + 2\text{NO}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} Cu+4HNO3​→Cu(NO3​)2​+2NO2​+2H2​O

Which substance acts as the reducing agent in this reaction?

Cu\text{Cu}Cu

HNO3\text{HNO}_3HNO3​

Cu(NO3)2\text{Cu(NO}_3\text{)}_2Cu(NO3​)2​

NO2\text{NO}_2NO2​
