Explanation:

◇Sodium (Na) is a very reactive metal. It is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide. This is a strongly exothermic reaction, and lot of heat is generated.

Sodium is kept in kerosene as it's highly reactive metal and reacts vigorously with air. So,if it's kept in open area where air is present, it will react with the moisture in air and start burning vigorously. Hence,it's kept in kerosene.

I hope you liked the answer. If it helps make sure to mark it as brainliest if possible.

Happy Preparation!

Have a nice day ahead :)
