Solution
The correct option is C
Both the statements are correct
Metals that are placed above hydrogen in reactivity series can displace hydrogen from water and dilute acids because they are more reactive than hydrogen.
Oxides of metals like K, Na and Ca cannot be reduced by H2,C or CO to the respective metals because these metals have more affinity for oxygen than H2, C or CO.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
