Solution

The correct option is A Formation of Fe(CO)5 from Fe
During the transformation, Fe+5COFe(CO)5,

The oxidation number of iron metal is 0.

The oxidation number of iron in Fe(CO)5 is also 0 as CO is a neutral ligand having 0 oxidation number.

There is no change in the oxidation number of iron.

Iron is not oxidized.

Hence, option A is correct.
