anonymous · Answer

molecules probably compounds are made up of elements and compounds

anonymous · Answer

The answer would be A (atoms of elements). The answers C and D can easily be eliminated because they don't  really pertain to the question, and the reason why the answer isn't D(molecules) is because compounds are a type of molecule that contains at least two different elements(atoms). This is why water is a compound. It contains 3 atoms of 2 different elements (hydrogen and oxygen)
