Detailed Solution

High-temperature reduction of a metal oxide by surplus carbon is a technique used to prepare certain metals for commercial use. In the cases of ZnO and Fe2O3, this approach can be effectively used.

Some metals are produced commercially by reducing metal oxide by excess carbon at high temperatures. It's known as smelting.

Less electropositive metals including Pb, Zn, Fe, Sn, and Cu are melted.

Therefore, ZnO and Fe2O3 may both be reduced using this approach.

Hence, option B is correct.
