Solution

The correct option is A True
Sodium is a highly reactive element and readily combines with oxygen present in air to form its oxide. Similarly, it reacts with water to form hydroxide. In order to avoid spontaneous reactions, we generally keep it under kerosene so that neither air nor water may come in its contact.
