Write down the reactions taking place in different zones in the blast furnace during the extraction of iron.

Smelting is termed to the process in which

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: In the Ellingham diagram,a sharp change in slope of the line is observed for $Mg \rightarrow MgO$ at $\sim 1120^{\circ} C$.
Reason $R$: There is a large change of entropy associated with the change of state.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
