Answer:

oxidation reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the zinc atom lost electrons, it is an oxidation reaction because the other half of the equation involves the hydrogen ions (initially bonded to the chloride ion in the hydrochloric acid). The hydrogen ions gain the electrons lost by the zinc atom, and bond together to form hydrogen gas.
