Correct Answer: Reduction


Solution : The correct answer is reduction.

Naturally iron ore exists in the form of metal oxides i.e Fe 2 O 3 . Iron is extracted from it through heating with carbon and limestone in blast furnace. It involves reducing the metal oxide into the pure metal and carbon dioxide gas is released as a byproduct. The process of extraction of pure metal from the ore is known as metallurgy.
