Sodium and magnesium are more reactive than carbon, so it is not able to remove the oxygen from sodium or magnesium oxides. Carbon is below Na and Mg in the reactivity series.

Answer:

This is because sodium and magnesium are more reactive than carbon. This means that carbon cannot reduce the oxides of these metals. The two metals are above carbon in the reactivity series and thus have a high affinity to oxygen than carbon does and thus cannot be reduced by it.
