To determine which reaction will not undergo a displacement reaction, we need to apply the reactivity series for metals and halogens. A displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound.
Let's analyze each option:
A. Magnesium + sodium fluoride
This involves two metals: Magnesium ($\text{Mg}$) and Sodium ($\text{Na}$) in sodium fluoride ($\text{NaF}$).
According to the metal reactivity series, Sodium ($\text{Na}$) is more reactive than Magnesium ($\text{Mg}$).
A less reactive metal cannot displace a more reactive metal from its salt solution.
Therefore, $\text{Mg(s)} + \text{NaF(aq)} \rightarrow \text{
