In the extraction of iron, SiO2 is the impurity present which is acidic in nature. To remove this impurity we use basic flux CaCOwhich decomposes to CaO and CO2. CaO reacts with impurity to form fusible slag \mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}

\mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{SiO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}

Therefore, the option number (4) is correct.
