zinc -oxide is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Only zinc oxide can be reduced to zinc using carbon among all the given options. When Zinc oxide reacts with Carbon, Zno is reduced to Zinc while CO2 is evolved, A balanced chemical reaction is written below:

                         2 ZnO + C → 2 Zn + CO2.

It is not a surprize, several other metal oxides can be reduced to metal using Carbon. For example, Iron and Lead including Zinc, they also proceed with the similar reaction.
