Correct Answer: Sodium(Na)
Solution : The correct option is Sodium(Na).
Sodium is a highly electropositive element. It belongs to Group 1 of the periodic table, also known as the alkali metals group. Elements in this group, including sodium, have a single valence electron in their outermost energy level. When sodium reaches a complete outer energy level, it readily gives up this valence electron, resulting in a stable electronic state.
