Of the three possibilities, combustion is the only certain oxidation. The other two might be oxidations, but they also might not.

I cover typical reaction types in my answer here
you need to know those general reactions
********
oxidation means an increase in "oxidation state"
example
.. 1 CH4 + 2 O2 ----> 1 CO2 + 2 H2O
on the left,
.. the C is in the -4 oxidation state.
on the right
.. the C is in the +4 oxidation state
the oxidation state of C increased so C is oxidized.
See if that example is like any of the generic equations in that link.
