Solution

The correct option is D Na2O,Li3N,Li2O
Among the alkali metals, only lithium forms nitride.
Li reacts with N2 and O2 of air forming Li3N and Li2O but Na reacts with only O2 forming Na2O. Na does not react with N2 forming Na3N (It requires high temperature). Since it is dry air, no hydroxides will be formed.
