Explanation:
If you want to reduce a metallic oxide, you have to use an element to react with it that is higher on the reactivity series. ... Carbon is more reactive (higher on the reactivity series) compared to zinc. You can't reduce magnesium oxide with carbon because magnesium is more reactive than carbon.

Answer:
Metals such as zinc, iron and copper are present in ores as their oxides. Each of these oxides is heated with carbon to obtain the metal. The metal oxide loses oxygen, and is therefore reduced. The carbon gains oxygen, and is therefore oxidised.
