Correct answer choice is :


A) sodium (Na)


Explanation:


It's a light element, reactive and with a low melting point, with a corresponding density of 0,97 at 20ºC. From the business point of view, sodium is the most significant of all the alkali elements. Sodium acts immediately with water, and also with snow and ice, to create sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
