The correct option is D All of these
Magnesium has almost no reaction with cold water. It reacts very slowly with hot water. It reacts with steam when being heated and gives hydrogen gas and metal oxide.
Magnesium + Water Magnesium hydroxide + Hydrogen gas
Zinc and iron do not react with cold or hot water. They react with steam slowly to give the respective oxides:
Zinc + Steam Zinc oxide + Hydrogen gas
Iron + Steam Iron(II) iron(III) oxide + Hydrogen gas
