Answer:

aluminium being highly reactive as compared to zinc and copper have more affinity towards stronger electronegative elements such as chlorine and oxygen

that's why why they cannot be reduced from conventional carbon or Coke form of reduction

that's why they are electrolysed in their molten form to obtain metal at cathode and gas at anode by the principle of opposite charge attract each other.
