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