Solution

The correct option is C $F e_{3} O_{4}$
Iron is a metal that will not directly react with cold water or hot water but forms a metal oxide when steam is passed over it.
When red hot iron reacts with steam it forms iron(II,III) oxide and hydrogen, and the reaction is reversible.
$3 F e (s) + 4 H_{2} O (g) \to F e_{3} O_{4} (s) + 4 H_{2} (g)$
