The best answer is
A) <span>The atoms in the mineral get rearranged
Over time, and under great pressure, the atoms of a substance can become rearranged, forming a new substance. For example, the intense pressure that carbon underground experiences, perhaps in the form of coal, can rearrange the atoms of the substance to create a diamond. </span>
This assumes that the wave has velocity c (is light).
In the writing of ionic chemical formulas the value of each ion's charge is crossed over in the crossover rule.
Rules for naming Ionic compounds
- Frist Rule
The cation (element with a negative charge) is written first in the name then the anion(element with a positive charge) is written second in the name.
- Second rule
When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses.
Example: Sodium carbonate is written as Na₂CO₃ not Na₂(CO)₃
- Third rule
If the cation is a metal ion with a fixed charge then the name of the cation will remain the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (Example: Na+ will be sodium).
If the cation is a metal ion with a variable charge, the charge on the cation is indicated using a Roman numeral, in parentheses, immediately following the name of the cation (example: Fe³⁺ = iron(III)).
- Fourth rule
If the anion is a monatomic ion, the anion is named by adding the suffix <em>-ide</em> to the root of the element name (example: F = Fluoride).
The oxidation state of each ion is also important, thus in the crossover rule, the value of each ion's charge is crossed over.

Answer:
Compound.
Explanation:
A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.
Choice-'a' is a slippery, misleading, ambiguous statement,
but it's less wrong than any of the other choices on this list.
