Solution

The correct option is A $C u_{2} O$
Bessemerisation is the process where a blast of air converts $C u_{2} S$ into $C u_{2} O$ in the bessemer converter.
$2 C U_{2} S + 3 O_{2} ⟶ 3 C u_{2} O + 2 S O_{2}$
This process is used to produce blister copper.
Hence $C u_{2} O$ is produced in $C u_{2} S$ .
