Solution:

$Fe^{0}+5CO \rightarrow \left[\right.Fe^{0}\left(\right.CO\left(\left.\right)_{5}\left]\right.$
As no change in the oxidation state of iron occurs so it is not an oxidation reaction.
In rest other iron gets oxidised, for example
$\overset{0}{F e}+CuSO_{4} \rightarrow \overset{2 +}{F e}SO_{4}+Cu$
