Model Answer

(A) Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn

Explanation

The reactivity series (Table 3.2, Chapter 3) lists metals in decreasing reactivity: K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > … Option A is the only one that correctly follows this order. Memorise the reactivity series — it is frequently tested in MCQs and short-answer questions.
