Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each element is made up of same type of atoms which cannot be further divided into simpler substances.

For example, a piece of zinc metal will only contains atoms of zinc and no other element.

Since, these atoms are the same as the element itself. Hence, the element still retain its properties because there no other different element is present in it.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement both have the same properties, is true about two neutral atoms of the element gold.
