Solution

The correct option is A hydrogen gas
Metals react with water under different conditions and produce metal oxide or hydroxide and liberate hydrogen gas.

Magnesium is a moderately reactive metal and does not react with cold water. It reacts with steam and produces magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas.
