Solution

The correct option is A totally different from sulphur and oxygen
In any chemical reaction the properties of compounds formed after the reaction will be completely different from that of the reactants taken.
This is because when one or more reactants converts into products, they may go through different modifications and energy changes. The chemical bonds in the reactants breaks and new bonds are formed between different atoms to form a new compound which is product, with totally different properties from reactants.
Hence, answer is option $A$ .
