The correct answer is:
Magnesium
Grignard reagent is a sigma bonded organometallic compound in which $\mathrm{Mg}$ is bonded with one alkyl and one halogen group. This can be prepared as
$\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Mg} \stackrel{\text { ether }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Mg}-\mathrm{X}$
$\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Mg} \stackrel{\text { ether }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Mg}-\mathrm{X}$
