In which of the following equations, the reduction of metal oxides can be seen :
SiO2+C→Si+CO2
2Fe2O3+3C→4Fe+3CO2
ZnO+C→Zn+CO
2Cr2O3+3C→4Cr+3CO2
A
ZnO+C→Zn+CO
B
2Cr2O3+3C→4Cr+3CO2
C
SiO2+C→Si+CO2

2Fe2O3+3C⟶4Fe+3CO2
2Cr2O3+3C⟶4Cr+3CO2
SiO2+C⟶Si+CO2
ZnO+C⟶Zn+CO
Since in all the above reaction, the metal oxide is converting into metal i.e. losing its oxygen.
Therefore, all of them are undergoing reduction.
