Answer:

chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon. Neither salt (NaCl), water (H₂O), nor silver (Ag) contain carbon.

Chicken is the option which most closely answers the question, but chicken is not a compound. Chicken is made of many different organic compounds, including proteins and carbohydrates.
