Detailed Solution

(I) Magnesium reduces aluminum oxide below 1700 K.

Below 1700 K, ΔG° for the reaction 2Mg+O22MgO is more negative thanΔG° for the reaction  ΔG°

43Al+O223Al2O3

(II) Aluminium reduces magnesium oxide above 1700 K

Above 1700 K, ΔG° for the reaction 2Mg+O22MgO is less  negative than ΔG° for the reaction  

43Al+O223Al2O3

The more negative the value of ΔG°, the greater is the tendency of the element to combine with oxygen.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
