Answer:

Fruit Punch

Step-by-step explanation:

A pure substance is whereby there is only one type of element or a compound in the periodic table in the substance.

Carbon: Well its just C in the periodic table, so this is definitely pure.

Water Molecule: What makes water? H2O right? Contains Hydrogen and Oxygen, and as we all know H2O is a compound, therefore this is a pure substance.

Fruit Punch: What makes fruit punch, water and fruits. Fruits may contain citric acid(a compound itself), and is mixed with water with already has a compound, so having 2 different compounds will result in a mixture and therefore it will not be pure.
