Solution:
- A. Silver is extracted by amalgamation process
$$ Ag+Hg \longrightarrow \underset{\text { Amalgam }}{\operatorname{Ag}(Hg)} \xrightarrow{\text { Distillation }} \operatorname{Ag}(s)+\operatorname{Hg}(v) \uparrow $$
B. Calcium is extracted by electrolysis of fused $CaCl _2$.
C. Zinc is extracted by carbon reduction method
$$ ZnO+C \longrightarrow Zn+CO $$
D. Iron is extracted by both carbon reduction method and $CO$ reduction methods
$$ \begin{aligned} Fe _2 O _3+3 C & \longrightarrow 2 Fe+3 CO \ Fe _2 O _3+3 CO & \longrightarrow 2 Fe+3 CO _2 \end{aligned} $$
E. Copper is extracted by self reduction methods
$$ \begin{aligned} Cu _2 S+O _2 & \longrightarrow Cu _2 O+SO _2 \ Cu _2 O+Cu _2 S & \longrightarrow Cu+SO _2 \end{aligned} $$
