Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound is defined as a substance in which two or more different elements in a fixed ratio by mass combine chemically with each other.

For example, chemical formula of water is H_{2}O and it is a compound because here two atoms of hydrogen chemically combine with one atom of oxygen.

And, the ratio of these atoms is 2 : 1. A compound can be broken down into simpler substance by chemical means only.

Whereas an element is a substance that contains only same type of atoms that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

Thus, we can conclude that water is a compound because it always has two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom.
