Answer:
b. a substance made of only one type of atom
Step-by-step explanation:
Elements are what you find on the periodic table of elements.
Take oxygen, for example. You can have one or multiple atoms, but if they are all oxygen atoms it's an element.
"a" is incorrect because water is not an element, it is a compound.
"c" is incorrect because such a thing (as far as we know) does not exist, unless we are talking about subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up an atom.
"d" is incorrect because it describes a compound.
