Verified by Toppr
Metals that are very low in their reactivity like Cu,Hg,Ag,Au (i.e., relatively noble) are obtained by heating their ores.
Metals of moderate reactivity like Zn,Ni,Pb are obtained by carbon reduction. Highly reactive metals like K,Ca,Al are extracted by electrolytic method.
Hence, the correct set is Cu,Hg,Ag.
