Answer: C) Elements and pure compounds are homogeneous materials because they have a uniform composition throughout.

Step-by-step explanation: Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements. Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

Elements are compounds form homogeneous materials as they have uniform composition throughout and the components are evenly distributed throughout the material.

Mixtures are heterogeneous materials as they do not have uniform composition and the components are not evenly distributed throughout the material.
