$ABSOLUTELY NOT$ $"ABSOLUTELY NOT"$

Explanation:

This is an acid base reaction with no formal electron transfer, and NO change in the oxidation states of the reactants or product:

$+ I N a - I I O + I H + + I H - I C l \to + I N a - I C l + {+ I H}_{2} - I I O$ $stackrel(+I)(Na)stackrel(-II)(O)stackrel(+I)(H) +stackrel(+I)Hstackrel(-I)Clrarr stackrel(+I)(Na)stackrel(-I)(Cl) + stackrel(+I)(H)_2stackrel(-II)(O)$

The oxidation numbers have been depicted. No change in elemental oxidation state is observed; therefore no formal electron transfer; therefore, this is $NOT A REDOX PROCESS.........$ $"NOT A REDOX PROCESS........."$
