Solution

The correct option is C

Magnesium


As the reactivity decreases in the order Potassium (K) > Sodium (Na) > Calcium (Ca) > Magnesium (Mg). So, tendency to react with cold water decreases and that's why magnesium does not reacts with cold water but it reacts slowly with hot water and vigorously with steam.
