The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Metal in Question**: The question asks for a specific metal that is stored in kerosene. 2. **Consider the Options Provided**: The options given are: - A) Phosphorus - B) Magnesium - C) Sodium - D) Copper 3. **Recall Properties of Metals**: Among the metals listed, we need to consider their reactivity with air (specifically oxygen). 4. **Analyze Sodium's Reactivity**: Sodium is known to be a highly reactive metal. It reacts vigorously with oxygen in the air, which can lead to dangerous situations such as fires or explosions. 5. **Determine Storage Method**: To prevent sodium from reacting with oxygen, it is stored in kerosene. Kerosene acts as a barrier, preventing sodium from coming into contact with air. 6. **Conclude the Answer**: Therefore, the metal that is stored in kerosene is **Sodium**. **Final Answer**: The metal which is stored in kerosene is **Sodium**. ---
