Solution

The correct option is B $C a C O_{3} \to C a O + C O_{2}$
In this portion, limestone gets decomposed and the resultant lime (CaO) acts as flux, combines with silica (present as impurity - gangue) to form calcium silicate (fusible slag). The reaction is endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoing decomposition.

$C a C O_{3} \to C a O + C O_{2}$

$C a O + S i O_{2} \to C a S i O_{3}$
