Solution

The correct option is C

compound


The explanation for the correct answer - (C) Compound

Compound - It is a pure substance made by a chemical reaction of two or more elements in a fixed proportion, and energy is usually absorbed or released during the reaction.

The explanation for the incorrect answer -

(A) Mixture - when two or more substances are mixed physically in any random proportion in such a way that they retain their individual properties is called a mixture.

For example - sand, and air.

(B) Element - It is a pure substance made up of atoms of the same kind and cannot be separated by any chemical method.

For example - Gold, and hydrogen.

(D) None of these - since option (C) is correct, this option is not correct.

Hence, option (C) is correct. Energy is usually given out or absorbed in the preparation of the compound.
