In the extraction of iron, which of the following reactions does NOT take place in the blast furnace?
In the extraction of iron in a blast furnace, the reduction of iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) primarily occurs through reaction with carbon monoxide (CO), which is the main reducing agent. While direct reduction with solid carbon (C) can occur to a small extent at very high temperatures, the specific stoichiometry shown in Option B is not a standard or balanced representation of the process occurring in the furnace.
