Reduction by a More Electropositive Metal(Thermite Process) 

A mixture of iron (III) oxide and aluminium powder is ignited with a burning magnesium ribbon. Aluminium reduces iron oxide to produce molten iron metal with the evolution of heat.

\mathrm{Fe _{2} O _{3}( s )+2 Al ( s ) \rightarrow 2 Fe ( l )+ Al _{2} O _{3}( s )+\text { Heat }}

Here AI is a highly electropositive metal. So, it is a thermite reaction.

Option 1 is correct.
