Solution

The correct option is C react with acids to liberate hydrogen gas
The activity series is a listing of the metals in decreasing order of their reactivity with hydrogen ion sources such as water and acids. In the reaction with hydrogen ion source the metal is oxidized to a metal ion and the hydrogen is reduced to hydrogen gas. They are also good reducing agents and poor oxidizing agents.
