Solution

The correct option is D Properties of compound are different to the properties of its constituents
Iron sulphide is not attracted towards magnet whereas its element (iron) is attracted towards magnet. This suggests that properties of compound are different to the properties of its constituents. In words, magnetic iron on chemical combination with sulphur, gives non magnetic iron sulphide.
