The correct answer is B. There are about 1,000 elements found in nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

In chemistry, an element refers to a substance that contains the same kind of atoms, especially in terms of the number of protons. Examples of elements include substances like hydrogen, nitrogen, sodium, zinc, among others. Additionally, to 2019 scientists have identified around 118 elements that include both elements naturally formed and some that were created in laboratories such as the meitnerium that was created in 1982. According to this, it is false there are about 1000 elements because for now there are only 118.
