Solution

The correct option is B $C u_{2} S +$ $\frac{3}{2} O_{2}$ $\to$ $C u_{2} O +$ $S O_{2}$ ; $2 C u_{2} O +$ $C u_{2} S$ $\to$ $6 C u +$ $S O_{2}$
The commercial metallurgical process for the formation of metallic copper from the sulphide ore involves oxidation of $C u_{2} S$ to $C u_{2} O$ and auto reduction of a mixture of $C u_{2} S$ and $C u_{2} O$ to copper metal.
$C u_{2} S + \frac{3}{2} O_{2} \to C u_{2} O + S O_{2}$
$2 C u_{2} O + C u_{2} S \to 6 C u + S O_{2}$
