Solution

The correct option is B Sodium
Sodium metal is kept immersed in kerosene oil to prevent accidental fire.
It is very reactive metal and combines explosively with air as well as water. It will catch fire if kept in open.
Note: Potassium is also kept immersed in kerosene oil for same reason.
