In the extraction of iron. the reaction which occurs at \(900-\) 1500 K in blast furnace is

  1. A \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+3 \mathrm{C} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{CO}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{FeO}+\mathrm{CO} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}+\mathrm{CO}_2\)
  3. C \(3 \mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+\mathrm{CO} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}_3 \mathrm{O}_4+\mathrm{CO}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Fe}_3 \mathrm{O}_4+4 \mathrm{CO} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{Fe}+4 \mathrm{CO}_2\)
