The correct answer is: oxidation and reduction


So, the reactions can be written as,
(i) $\stackrel{0}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{u}+\stackrel{+1}{\mathrm{Ag}} \mathrm{SO}_2 \longrightarrow \stackrel{+2}{\mathrm{Cu}} \mathrm{SO}_4+2 \stackrel{0}{2 \mathrm{Ag}}$
(ii) $\stackrel{0}{\mathrm{Zn}}+\stackrel{+2}{\mathrm{Cu}} \mathrm{SO}_4 \longrightarrow \stackrel{+2}{\mathrm{ZnSO}_4}+\stackrel{0}{\mathrm{C} u}$
