Best answer
Right option is (c) sodium

For explanation: The glass surface is subject to corrosion due to the presence of sodium. The glass surface is subject to three forms of “corrosion”: etching, leaching and weathering, as a consequence of the sodium in glass being loosely combined in the silica matrix.
