Solution

The correct option is C

element, compound


An element is a simple substance which cannot be further divided into simpler components. A compound is a substance formed due to the chemical combination of two or more elements.
For example, water consists of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen are elements and cannot be further broken down. But water can be broken down to obtain hydrogen and oxygen. Hence, water is a compound which consists of elements - hydrogen and oxygen.
