View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
2Cu2O+Cu2S→6Cu+SO22\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{u}_2}\mathrm{O} + \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{u}_2}\mathrm{S} \to 6\mathrm{Cu} + \mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_2}
Option C (2Cu2O+Cu2S→6Cu+SO22Cu_2O + Cu_2S \to 6Cu + SO_2) is correct because this is the final self-reduction step in the Bessemer converter during copper extraction.
