Solution:
The given statement is true.concept - In the thermite process, a metal and a metal oxide react along with the evolution of a large amount of heat.
In the aluminium thermite process, aluminium acts as a reducing agent. In this process, the oxides of various metals (such as chromium, iron, etc.) are converted into the corresponding metals. The thermite reaction is also used in purifying the metal ores.
For example, the reduction of iron oxide in the presence of aluminium leads to the formation of iron metal and aluminium oxide ().
Thus, the given reaction is an example of Thermite reaction.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
