Correct Answer: water
Solution : The correct option is water.
White phosphorus is often stored under water or in an inert gas atmosphere to keep it from interacting with the oxygen in the air. This is so that a severe and maybe fatal fire won't break out because white phosphorus is highly reactive and capable of spontaneous combustion when exposed to air.
