Answer 2

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An element is defined as the substance which cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

For example, a piece of sodium metal will contain only atoms of sodium.

Whereas a compound is a substance that contains atoms different elements which are chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

For example, sodium chloride and water ($H_{2}O$) are both compounds as they both of them contain different atoms which are chemically combined.

Thus, we can conclude that 200 milliliters of water combined with sodium chloride is a mixture of two compounds.
