Answer:

Compound. Option A is correct

Explanations:

When two or more different elements combines, a compound is formed. For instance, if carbon and oxygen combines, carbondioxide is formed according to the equation;


C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction, carbon and oxygen are the elements while carbondioxide is the compound. Hence we can conclude that a pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine called compound.
