Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer A is incorrect because a compound doesn't have to be made with only metals.

Answer B is incorrect because that is actually the definition of a pure element.

Answer C is correct because to make a compound, there has to be a chemical reaction where bonds are formed and an entirely new substance is created.

Answer D is incorrect because compounds cannot be separated by physical means.

Hope this helps :D
