Correct Answer: Water


Solution : The correct option is Water.

White phosphorus can ignite in air at temperatures as low as 30 degrees Celsius. White phosphorus is a highly reactive and flammable chemical compound. It is typically stored under water or in an inert gas atmosphere to prevent it from coming into contact with oxygen in the air, which can lead to spontaneous combustion.
