Zone of reaction.

The correct answer is option  B) Zone of combustion.

Brief Explanation

Arrow

The Blast Furnace is a huge steel structure about 30 m high.

It is constructed using unique fire bricks that can resist temperatures of up to 2000 degrees C.

The reaction that occurs in the blast furnace can be represented as, 2C+O2→2CO + Heat C+O2→CO2 + Heat

The temperature in the combustion zone is at its highest because combustion reactions are exothermic.
