Explanation:

Answer: Metals such as zinc, iron and copper are present in the ores as their oxides. Each of these oxides are heated with carbon to obtain the metal. The metal oxide loses oxygen, and is therefore reduced. Some metals, such as aluminium are so reactive that their oxides cannot be reduced by carbon.
