$\underline{\underline{\huge\mathfrak{ANSWER}}}$

• $\mathbf{Sodium(Na), Potassium(P)}$ are highly reactive metals.

• They are so reactive that they even react with $\textit{air}$ and burn and if if they come in contact with $\textit{water}$, they react even more vigorously causing explosion.

• To cut off $\textit{air/water}$ supply they're kept in $\mathbf{Kerosene.}$

• Lithium on other hand, isn't kept in kerosene since it's density is less than kerosene, so it floats on it which allows it to come in contact with $\textit{air/water.}$

• So, it is kept in kept in $\textbf{paraffin wax.}$
