(D) displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its oxide. Based on the reactivity series $(Mg > Zn > Cu)$:
MetalZinc $(Zn)$Magnesium $(Mg)$Copper $(Cu)$
Zinc oxide $(ZnO)$No reactionDisplacementNo reaction
Magnesium oxide $(MgO)$No reactionNo reactionNo reaction
Copper oxide $(CuO)$DisplacementDisplacementNo reaction

Displacement reactions occur when:
$1$. $Mg$ is heated with $ZnO$ $(Mg + ZnO \rightarrow MgO + Zn)$
$2$. $Zn$ is heated with $CuO$ $(Zn + CuO \rightarrow ZnO + Cu)$
$3$. $Mg$ is heated with $CuO$ $(Mg + CuO \rightarrow MgO + Cu)$
