The second answer is quite obvious and logical.
See the reduction potential of Na is much much less than that of H, hence it cant oxidise H as so the answer given by Rakesh is wrong.
Probability of formation of Na2CO3 is very less as when the ques is saying moist air, it demands some reac between Na,H2O,O not CO2
And formation of a simple oxide is much more favourable than that of a peroxide(NaO).
Hence the answer is Na2O.

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
