The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Potassium (K) is a highly reactive alkali metal that reacts vigorously with cold water to form potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (Hâ‚‚). This reaction releases heat and produces bubbles of hydrogen gas. \[ 2K + 2H_2O \rightarrow 2KOH + H_2 \]
