As we learnt,

Sodium and its alloys -

Liquid sodium = act as a coolant in fast breeder nuclear reactors by absorbing the energy released from the reaction and transferring it to the water in the steam generator to produce steam, leading to generating electricity by turning the turbines.

Na + Pb = needed to make PbEt{_{4}}\ and\ PbMe{_{4}}, earlier used as anti-knock additives to petrol.

So, the correct answer is option 2, Liquid sodium.
