Yes, the correct answer is D: Calcium, because......
Calcium oxide reacts with silicon dioxide to give silicate melts and runs down through the furnace to form a layer on top of the molten iron. It can be tapped off from time to time as slag.

if there is no decomposition of CaCO3 in the blast furnace to remove impurities, there will be no slag.
