Answer: Option B) Atom

Step-by-step explanation:

An atom is the simplest particle of an element that can retain all the chemical properties of the element, and therefore take part in a chemical reaction.

Thus, an atom of zinc (Zn) represent fully the entire properties of elemental Zinc. For instance: an atom of zinc has a mass of 65.38g.
