Answer: b. an individual oxygen atom combines with an oxygen molecule

Explanation:

Molecules of an element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements. Example: $O_2$

Atom is the smallest entity of a matter which has its independent existence.

$O_2+O\rightarrow O_3$

Ozone is a molecule of oxygen which contains 3 oxygen atoms and hence is formed by the combination of a molecule of oxygen and a atom of oxygen.

Hence the correct option is b.
