Answer
A
fluorine
B
chorine
C
sodium

Explanation

Sodium reacts rapidly with oxygen and moisture in the air, so it is kept under oil to prevent contact with them. Therefore, the correct choice is sodium. Fluorine and chlorine are reactive gases, while gold is very unreactive, but these are not stored under oil for this reason.
