Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Iron is obtained from $F e_{2} O_{3}$ by heating it with a mixture of coke and $C a C O_{3}$ in a blast furnace in which $C O$ formed reduces $F e_{2} O_{3}$ to $F e$ .

$F e_{2} O_{3} + 3 C O \to 2 F e + 3 C O_{2}$

However, the reason is incorrect because the reaction, $F e_{2} O_{3} (s) \to F e (s) + \frac{3}{2} O_{2} (g)$ is not a spontaneous reaction.

Hence, option C is correct.
