Solution

The correct option is C

The reactions in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously and there is a change in the oxidation number of elements in reactants and products are called redox reactions.

In the reaction, $M g C O_{3} \to M g O + C O_{2}$ , the oxidation states of $M g, C, a n d O$ remain the same in reactants as well as products, therefore, it is not a redox reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
