Extraction of metals — practice question

Within the blast furnace, the impurity silicon(IV) oxide is eliminated when slag is formed. Which equation shows the formation of the substance that reacts with silicon(IV) oxide to produce slag?

  • A$\text{C} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2$
  • B$\text{C} + \text{CO}_2 \rightarrow \text{2CO}$
  • C$\text{CaCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{CaO} + \text{CO}_2$
  • D$\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 + 3\text{CO} \rightarrow 2\text{Fe} + 3\text{CO}_2$
