Explanation:
Clearly sodium is the metal
As it is very highly reactive, it is always stored under kerosene to prevent it from fire
It exists in nature in the form of sodium chloride.
We can get sodium from sodium chloride by using electrolytic decomposition process in which sodium chloride dissociates into sodium and chlorine due to passing of electricity.
