Write the Net Ionic Equation for the Reaction That Occurs,if

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs,if any,when cesium metal (Z = 55) is placed in hydrochloric acid.Cesium metal is above hydrogen gas in the activity series.

A) Cs(s) + H⁺(aq) → H(g) + Cs⁺(aq)
B) 2 Cs(s) + 2 H⁺(aq) → H₂(g) + 2 Cs⁺(aq)
C) 2 Cs(s) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq) → H₂(g) + 2 Cs⁺(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq)
D) 2 Cs(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H₂(g) + 2 CsCl(aq)
