Consider the following statements regarding the reaction of Magnesium with water: 1. Magnesium does not react with cold water; it reacts only with hot water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. 2. Magnesium starts floating in hot water because the bubbles of hydrogen gas formed stick to its surface. 3. Magnesium reacts with steam to form magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options:

• A: 1, 2 and 3
• B: 1 and 2 only
• C: 2 and 3 only
• D: 1 and 3 only
