Solution
The correct option is BCu2S+2Cu2O⟶6Cu+SO2
The formed molten copper when cooled gives off dissolved SO2. The SO2 gas escaping in the form of bubbles leaves the surface of the metal full of cavities, which gives the metal a blistered appearance. This is why the metal obtained is blister copper.
