Answer

<p> B</p>

Explain

<p> To balance a chemical equation, it means that there should be same number of every type of atoms on both the product and the reactant sides of the equation. For this case, the proper equation is 2 K + 2 H2O → 2 KOH + H2. Here, there are 2 atoms of potassium, 4 atoms of hydrogen, and 2 atoms of oxygen on both the reactant and product sides.<br /></p>
