Solution

The correct option is C ${F e}_{2} O_{3}, S n O_{2}$
Carbon Reduction Process:
The reduction takes place in presence of coke or coal or carbon monoxide. The process is done for that metals which are having a lower melting point.
Examples :
(1) $F e_{2} O_{3} + 3 C O \to 2 F e + 3 C O_{2}$
(2) $S n O_{2} + 2 C O \to S n + 2 C O_{2}$
