Because it contains sodium cations, which are strongly basic, and carbonate anions which are weakly acidic so the basic ions win over acidic ions, making Na2CO3

(C) Potassium is more reactive than Sodium and it is found in nature to a less extent than Sodium(Na). Sodium is, therefore, found to be more useful than K.
