The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which metal reacts with water or steam. To answer this, we need to consider the reactivity of metals with water. 2. **Reactivity Series**: Metals are arranged in a reactivity series based on their ability to displace hydrogen from water or acids. Metals that are more reactive than hydrogen can react with water or steam. 3. **Identifying Metals**: The metals that typically react with water or steam include: - Sodium - Potassium - Calcium - Magnesium - Aluminum (with steam) - Iron (with steam) 4. **Analyzing the Options**: If we have a list of metals (let's say Iron, Copper, Silver, and Platinum), we need to check their positions in the reactivity series: - Iron is above hydrogen in the reactivity series. - Copper, Silver, and Platinum are below hydrogen and do not react with water or steam. 5. **Conclusion**: Since Iron is the only metal from the given options that reacts with water or steam, it is the correct answer. ### Final Answer: The metal that reacts with water or steam is **Iron**. ---
