Solution

The correct option is D the enthalpy of formation of ${A l}_{2} O_{3}$ is too high

Very high temperatures around 2100 degree celcius is required for the carbothermic reduction.
Aluminium Oxide is a very stable oxide and lies below the the oxidation line of carbon in Ellingham Diagram hence $A l_{2} O_{3}$ cannot be reduced by carbon as it is energetically not favourable.
Hence option D is correct answer.
