Solution

The correct option is A Coke
Coke can be used both as a fuel and a reducing agent. The combustion of coke (carbon) is highly exothermic and releases a huge amount of energy. Hence, coke is a fuel. Carbon itself is easily oxidized to $C O$ and $C O_{2}$ . $C$ can easily reduce several metal oxides to metal.
