Answer:

Oxygen is an element.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the choices listed, oxygen is the only element. The other choices are incorrect because air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapors, and some other gases; water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen; and sodium chloride is a compound of sodium and chloride ions; meanwhile, oxygen is a pure element.
