Highly electropositive metal $(s)$ can not be commercially extracted by carbon reduction process at high temperature because these
metals combine with carbon to form covalent carbide
metals combine with carbon to form ionic carbide
$\Delta G_f$ of highly electropositive metal oxide is having low negative value
metal oxides are not reduced by carbon
Solution
As they are highly electropositive metals, high purity metal is obtained at cathode. They are not extracted through carbon reduction because they aren't reduced. It they are reduced also, They have impurities. The metal combines with carbon to form ionic carbide
