In the given reaction:

H2Sg+I2s2HIaq+Ss
H2S is changing into S. This is the removal of hydrogen from H2S. By this definition, the removal of hydrogen is known as oxidation. Therefore, hydrogen sulphide is oxidized to sulphur. Here, hydrogen sulphide acts as a reducing agent.
I2 is changing into HI. This is the addition of hydrogen to iodine. By this definition, the addition of hydrogen is known as reduction. Therefore, iodine is reduced to hydrogen iodide. Here, iodine acts as an oxidizing agent.

So statements b and c are incorrect.
