The reaction that does not take place in blast furnace between 900 K to 1500 K in temperature range during extraction of iron is:
A $CaO+SiO_2\rightarrow CaSiO_3$
B $Fe_2O_3+CO\rightarrow2FeO+CO_2$
C $FeO+CO\rightarrow Fe+CO_2$
D $C+CO_2\rightarrow2CO$

Explanation

$Fe_2O_3+CO\rightarrow2FeO+CO_2$ occurs at 500–800 K, not 900–1500 K.

Detailed Solution

$Fe_2O_3+CO\rightarrow2FeO+CO_2$. The above reaction takes place at 500–800 K in blast furnace.
