Solution

The correct option is D Element
An element is a substance that contains only one type of fundamental particle (atom). Hence, option C is correct.

Option A, 'pure', can also be applicable as elements are also pure substances. But we do not choose that option because pure substances can be compounds as well, as compounds have more than one type of fundamental particle.
