Brass is an alloy of copper and ......... .

Extraction of copper from copper pyrite $CuFeS_2$ involves:
$A$. Crushing followed by concentration of the ore by froth-flotation
$B$. Removal of iron as slag
$C$. Self-reduction step to produce 'blister copper' following evolution of $SO_2$
$D$. Refining of 'blister copper' by carbon reduction

Railway wagon axles are made by heating iron rods embedded in charcoal powder. This process is known as:

Among the reactions $(a) - (d)$,the reaction$(s)$ that does/do not occur in the blast furnace during the extraction of iron is/are:
$(a)$ $CaO + SiO_2 \rightarrow CaSiO_3$
$(b)$ $3 Fe_2O_3 + CO \rightarrow 2 Fe_3O_4 + CO_2$
$(c)$ $FeO + SiO_2 \rightarrow FeSiO_3$
$(d)$ $FeO \rightarrow Fe + \frac{1}{2} O_2$
