Answer:

d) a pure substance that can be separated into different elements by chemical means.

Explanation:

Hello,

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a chemical compound composed by sodium and chlorine. They are chemically bonded through a ionic bond which means that the sodium transfers just one electron (valence electron) to the chlorine to form the bond. Now, if we want to separate them, we must induce a chemical process because bond breaking implies a chemical change, not physical. Thus, a typical way to separate them (break the bond) is via electrolysis in which an electric driving force induce the aforementioned breakdown.

Best regards.
