Answer

The correct answer is 'B'.

Explain

## Step 1<br />This problem is about understanding the chemical reactions involving potassium (K) and water (H2O). The hint given in the problem is 'bonding' and 'chemical equations'.<br />## Step 2<br />In chemistry, bonding refers to the force of attraction between atoms or molecules. When an alkali metal such as potassium reacts with water, an alkali metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced.<br />## Step 3<br />The balanced chemical equation reflecting this is \( K + H2O \rightarrow KOH + H2 \).
