Solution

The correct option is C
Sponge & Nitrogen

The sponge has minute pores in which air is trapped. Upon pressing the sponge, the air is expelled out and it gets compressed. Nitrogen is a gas so can be easily compressed. Iron and rock are solids which are hard to compress. Therefore, among the given four options, sponge and nitrogen can be easily compressed.
