We use carbon and aluminium to reduce the oxides of moderately reactive metal.
less reactive metal is just separate from there oxides only by heating.
highly reactive metal is reduced by electrolytic reduction.
examples are in the image attached.

Hey dear,
● Answer with explanation -
# Reduction of oxides of less reactive metals -
Less reactive metals can be reduced by simple heating. They don't need any other metal for reduction.
e.g. 2Cu2O + Cu2S ---> 3Cu + SO2
# Reduction of oxides of moderately reactive metals -
Moderately reactive metals can be reduced by heating with carbon.
e.g. ZnO + C ---> Zn + CO
# Reduction of oxides of high reactive metals -
High reactive metals can be reduced by electrolysis of their molten chlorides.
e.g. MgCl2 ---> Mg + Cl2
Hope this helps you...
