Correct option is C
White phosphorus is a highly reactive form of phosphorus that glows in the dark due to a phenomenon known as chemiluminescence. When exposed to oxygen, it undergoes slow combustion and emits a faint greenish glow. This property is also the reason it is stored underwater or in an inert atmosphere to prevent it from spontaneously igniting.

(b) Strontium: It is used in pyrotechnics but does not glow in air.
