The correct option is B

False


When a metal reacts with steam, it forms a metal hydroxide and liberates hydrogen gas.
Magnesium reacts with hot water and iron reacts with steam to liberate hydrogen gas and respective hydroxide.
Metals like gold, silver, copper, platinum etc., does not react with water even with the steam as they are very less reactive in nature.
