Oxygen is an element in the sixth group of the periodic table. This means it contains 6 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its octet, it will prefer to gain two electrons rather than to donate 6. This is why its valency is -2. The relatively easy to achieve octet makes Oxygen a reactive element.

<h2>answer:</h2>

a heterogeneous mixture

<h2>explanation:</h2>

A heterogeneous mixture is commonly any mixture that is not uniform in combination - it's a non-uniform mixture of smaller fundamental particles. Using different means, the particles in the mixture can be separated from one another. In a heterogeneous mixture, the elements do not mix completely, and the individual items that form the mixture can be identified. Heterogeneous mixtures can typically be separated back into their original components by chemical or physical means.

Minchanka [31]

C. ferns.

Explanation:

The ferns are ancient plants that have managed to survive until the present. They are not closely related to the dominant plants nowadays, the flowering plants, but instead they are closely related with plants that have gone extinct tens and hundreds of millions years ago. Even though the ferns are not the dominant plants, they have managed to find a niche and firmly hold onto it, so they remained widespread, normally occupying the lower layers of the forests.

Unlike the flowering plants that produce flowers and then seeds in order to reproduce, that is not the case with the ferns. The ferns actually reproduce through spores, being widely dispersed by the wind and managing to spread out and reproduce over relatively large territory very quickly.
