• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Sulphur is an element, air is a mixture and steam is a compound. When water is boiled, it evaporates and changes into water vapours. These water vapours are also known as steam. So steam is essentially water in the gaseous state which is a compound consisting of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. A compound is defined as a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements.
