I thought the answer was B, lilac means it is potassium. And the metal oxide is basic?
The mark scheme says it's D.

How could potassium oxide react with water to give off hydrogen gas?

oh yeah. Ok then

Hydrides of group 1, such as KH, contain the H- ion.
They react with water to form:
H- + H2O --> H2 + OH-
hydrogen and hydroxide ions ...
Interestingly, this is an example of a synproportionation (comproportionation) reaction where one element in two different oxidation states becomes the same oxidation state. It is the chemical opposite of disproportionation.
