Answer:

This is an oxidation/reduction reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

C is oxidized (loses electrons) and iron is reduced (gains electrons). C goes from oxidation number zero on the left to oxidation number 4+ on the right. Iron goes from oxidation number 3+ on the left to zero on the right.
