Solution

The correct option is B
A and R are true but the R is not the correct explanation of A

Sodium is stored under kerosene because it does not react with kerosene. On the other hand, Sodium violently reacts with water.

Taken one by one - both the assertion and reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion.
