Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inorganic compounds are the compounds which lack carbon atoms.

For example, water
(H_(2)O) is an inorganic compound.

Whereas organic compounds are the compounds which have carbon atom(s). For example, methane (
CH_(4)) is an organic compound.

On the other hand, molecules, compounds, living, non-living, ionic, and covalent categories of chemicals can either have carbon content or not have carbon content.

Thus, we can conclude that inorganic and organic categories of chemicals are based on carbon content.
